i have found crutchfield to have helpful reps, but are fairly premium priced.
but they have a great assortment of things to pick from. i bought my tv from amazon as they were the cheapest by far.
the problem with the bose is that they require you to run the satellites from the sub and i didnt want that many wires running around. i also didnt want a 110v powered sub as i run my home theatre off the inverter at times and the sub would take too much power and in addition didnt have an inverter run outlet anywhere near. and it was wayyy too big.
so the powered 12v sub is awesome and works for both the car stereo and onkyo.
i am going to mount the satellites under the valences. i had previously run all new speaker wire to each location when i was doing my remodel.
it should be fun. i am still trying to figure out how to improve on my video server. currently i use an apple tv. it is awkward to get movies on and generates alot of heat. it uses an intel p4 and is essentailly a mini mac computer.
the sub is also auto on and off. detects an incoming signal and when there is none powers off after 60 seconds. a nice feature.
