5:1 sound system ideas

Post by **kevtherev** » 10 May 2006, 17:30

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has fitted a 5:1 sound system, to run from a 230v DVD player and lcd TV.

Power choices
Routing
connecting/wiring diagrams
amplifiers
etc

thanks

may be an idea to look at computer speakers, some of them may run at 12v as lots have ac/dc converters. that way you power it all direct from battery with no pesky inverters causing 50 cycle hummmmmmmmm
