Dude, surround sound is AMAZING. I say only get it if your gona use it, alot. Those bitches are EXPENSIVE though.

My friend had surround with some BOOMin bass. In video games you could hear someone walk up on you from the left side. You'd just tell. And watchin 'Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' while trippin on shrooms was the most amazing experiance EVER. Thanks to surround. And bass. And the HDTV.

Get one, but as said use it if your gona buy it. Video games/DVD hub/nice TV or somthin.

Mandatory to have if you enjoy watching movies once a week or more completely blazed.

It takes you into the movie and watching war of the worlds was intense for me with my nice surround sound.

dont know what schplongo is but if it doesnt shoot out of 5 lil speakers surrounding you in rich detailed and timed out sounds then its not "stoner" friendly.

Turn the lights off light it up and get sopme munchies. And .. turn up the surround sound.

i have a surround sound system, but i don't hav eth espeakers all set up like they shoudl be (really nowhere to put them) all 7 of them are in a line right infront of my face... then the subwoofer i often use as a foot rest.

[B.Basher]

7.1 here man :D ! Can't go wrong for games. Definitely worth getting a 5.1 for DVDs. They're cheap as chips now.

Don't diss the cheap under 70.00 surround sound.

If thats all you can afford, its better than nothing.

Yeah I have surround sound.
I sit in my car.
You can't beat VWs for factory premium audio, for how little you pay for them.

[Skink]

I got 2 one at the puter and one in the living room... Tv on the weekend rocks with SS...

[slipknotpsycho]

my system was 100.00 it's 7.1...

i can shake shit off of shelves with it (and often do)

the only problem with the cheap surround systems is there's always something on them that wants to break.... i used my subwoofer as a foot rest, and because of that it's fucked up (kinda hard to explain but the powercord kept getting pushed in as it was up against my desk... hard to explain lol) anyways, now i have to kick it to get it come on alot... i think ima have to get a new one soon ...

the one i had before this... the speaker dropped a couple of times (not far either) and eventually it broke as well...

maybe it's just me and speakers don't get along?

I have an old surround processor and a couple of speakers hooked up behind the chair(s). My front end stereo provides 98% of the sound that the listener needs to hear. I do not use a "center"-channel speaker.

I've been into hifi/stereo for a long time. The most important thing is to have a good setup with your two front stereo speakers, which includes good amplification, cables, speaker wire, etc. I can't give much advice on current models of speakers, amps, CD players, etc. There are magazines that have information, such as Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, Sound and Vision, and others. I would generally not recommend Consumer Reports, Stereo Review, or Audio Magazine. These publications do "measurements" of equipment performance and the sound quality is not addressed enough, if at all.

The bottom line is: Put the majority of resources into the front-end first, and add the surround components and rear speakers later.

you must be into the expensive ass systems breuk....

my 7.1 came all in one box lol... (only problem with computers and surround sound, is if you don't have 7.1 support [alot of computers don't] you have to buy a card...

i figured thta out the hard way....

[ZedRULES]

[:thumbsup: Life sucks without multichannel sound...I say buy what sounds best to YOUR ears within your budget...there are good low price systems for just about anyone...but you need to spend big bucks to match yer macho expectations...cheap will not ever equal quality.:cool: Life happens all around us, so it's more natural to have many channels...I use a Bose 7.1 system+Velodyne D.Subwoofer that loosens the floor boards on a good action sequence...I have 2 additional KLH subs for added umph:stoned: B][/B]
