I have a dayton 12" in my room with the gain at maybe 1/8 and you can hear it 5-6 rooms down. If you do want a sub I would get this...

Its like 100 bucks after shipping and they sound ok. It's nothing special but it will get you the bump you want. |

My home stereo was too big to bring with me to college..... at home I've got a set of Techincs 3-way speakers, a Technics receiver, RCA cd changer, and I was working on building a sub for it out of a JBL sub and a plate amp. But that project's on hold for now. |

well how about just in general? like an all around home theater system? you got the tv, a set of speakers, a sub, a dvd player, and do you need some sort of receiver or something? |

Yeah you do need a receiver if you want true surround sound. It decodes everything and sends all the appropriate signals to the appropriate speakers. Entry level receivers aren't that expensive. If you're not a true home audiophile the $250 off the shelf receiver will do. A basic starter system complete will be $500 or so. Receiver, surround package, DVD player and cables.
It depends on what you have/want/need.
I spent well over a grand just on my sub.  |
