Joe: My sis just turned 16, so yeah, I have a sister LOL.
Wraith: The FD's WAY MORE then covered, I have plenty for the car, no worries there.
I can't and won't spend more then the absolute minimum on this stuff. The sound card is $150 and the speakers are gonna be around $100. So, it's nothing too crazy but the important thing is that they deliver about 600 watts of raw power, I think I'll be satiesfied for the time being.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, they're always appreciated.

Well, I'm letting you guys know that I'm getting a few things at this time in upgrading my Home Theater System. Why, I just thought you'd like to hear this, and I need a new system LOL.
Currently, I have about 250 watts coming from a 5.1 Surround Sound speaker collage running both my stereo, DVD, TV, PS2, and my PC (Laptop, not the Desktop).
It seems to me that I need slightly more power and clearity so I'm upgrading everything. I used have a few more speakers and subs a month ago but I gave those up in order to offset the cost ofthe new tech loaded ****. With the old setup, I used to put out about 600 watts of mostly distortion free music, yep, mostly becase when cranked up all the way the sound would fade a bit.
Now this is the new setup focusing primarily on the Laptop. I'm getting an external sound card with a remote capable of handling insane amounts of power (Upwards of 1000 watts depending on the number of speakers and their total RMS output). On top of the new card, I'm gonna get anotehr 5.1 Surround Speaker Set capable of 700 watts of total RMS power. In the end, I'm going to hook everything up to the Laptop's sound card so that I'll be able to run the TV, DVD Player, and the PS2 with ONE device instead of 2 or 3.
I'm giving my old stuff to my sister since it's not that complicated (she hates complicated ****) and I'm building her a new Desktop anyways. So, all in all, Srce will be terrorizing the hood once again with insane music coming through a dope system, and loud as well.

Watts do not equal loudness or accuracy.
