I gots meself a surround sound system...

Hi all,
Well, my uncle's old CRT TV died a few weeks back, and he went out and got a new surround sound system and a plasma TV. So I went over and set it all up and as a reward I get me the old system! It's already all hooked up, really nice running from the optical audio output on my MacBook the rear and center speakers are crap though, so I'm building my own out of MDF

It's a Sony STR-DE875 - here's an info page.

Anywho, time to watch Happy Feet

edit: probably should have thrown in a question here...

Where can i find a decent speaker box volume calculator? google search turned up nothing...

Why did he replace his amp?

Shhhhh.

12x12x12=1728 or 1 cubic foot remember to take inside box measurements

Because this one only has composite and s-video switching and he needed component at least. So he got one with component and HDMI as well

My brother has that unit!! It's pretty decent for what he paid for it, but for what YOU paid it's well worth it!!

The only problem is that sometimes the center channel drops out.

Hit the speaker power toggle button twice and it works again

yeah... and you though you could save money by not buying flashlights...
