best multimedia speaker system with subwoofer image
DONZI
I went to a dealer and they introduced me to in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
I currently own a bose lifestyle 48 home entertainment system but I want an upgrade to something better. The system is currently situated on living room but I would like to unify the whole apartment with speaker than blend in with the decor.
Could you give me names and possible links for sound system and in-wall speaker with proper sound?
I live in a apartment by the way and I don't own a tv. It is purely for music

It is a rare occasion that I use a word as strong as the word Hate. I hate when electronics do not work as advertised. When I find something that works I stick with it and expand on the idea. This is one of many options, nevertheless, I find that it all works beautifully, regularly and as I expect. The use of itunes can be the center of your musical universe. In orbit with a desktop, preferably Apple. The Apple TV a little known and limited set top box has an HDMI connection which can plug into a flat screen. Itunes can stream your music to the apple tv, a free standing set of speakers can be plugged into the Apple TV set top box and work with both the TV and the computer. Music can be streamed upstairs, downstairs, anywhere. You will have a very high level functioning home theater. The Bose Lifestyle can stay put in the living room. Your choice of speakers can be computer multimedia speakers and or a high performing clock radio. I would suggest Cambridge Soundworks. It will look right and sound big and clear. It has a built in down firing subwoofer complemented by strong speakers. It is an understated look with a bold sound. The Clock Radio can be located upstairs and connected to the Apple TV solo or in unison with a TV upstairs. This is an inexpensive option that can work very well when space is a premium.
The second option would be to purchase a ipod sound dock, like B&W Zepplin or if you want to stay in the Bose line, Bose Sounddock 10. Once again, Apple has an item called Airport. Airport streams audio anywhere and everywhere in a house. Music can be streamed to or from the Airport plug in to the Bose Lifestyle 48. This too, should be easy and will sound great. I am a big believer in working with what you have and making it the best solution it was meant to be.
You have several speaker options to review, I like this approach because it is better than cutting a hole in the ceiling and mounting speakers.
I hope this helps you find what works.
Best.

What's the difference between a mono, 2 channel, and multi channel amp?
pillows22
I am wanting to get a system for my car and here is what I was wanting: Infinity Kappa 60.7cs Component Speaker System, 2 Infinity Kappa Perfect 12d VQ Subwoofer (12" Dual 4 Ohms ⢠Variable Q Design ⢠400W RMS / 1,600W Peak), 1 Kicker Solo-Baric S10L72 Subwoofer (10" Dual 2 Ohms Solo-Baric L7 Series ⢠600W RMS / 1,200W Peak). But I don't know anything about amps. I have picked out 2 JBL GTO 601.1II Subwoofer Mono Amps (400W Grand Touring Series Class D ⢠580 Watts @ 2 ohms) for the infinity subs and a Infinity Reference 611a Subwoofer Mono Amp ( 456W Reference Series Class D ⢠657W at 2 Ohms) for the Kicker. I have not picked an amp out for the speakers yet. The cd player I already have is a JVC KD-AV7010 In-Dash DVD Multimedia Center (Peak Power: Power Output: 235W Max. (Front/Rear: 50W x 4, Center: 35W x 1). So I need to know about the different amps to be confident in picking the amps before I get them installed. Thanks

Wow, sounds like you've got quite an impressive system starting up there. To answer you basic question, it's simple.
A mono amp simple means one channel. These are typically used for subs and only use one channel of input. They can be connected to one or more subs depending on how you connect them to acheive the impedance load that the amp is capable of handling.
A 2-channel amp has two outputs and allows for 2 inputs for stereo sound. Most 2-channel amps can also be bridged to work the same as a mono amp. 2-channel amps can be used for subs or for mid to high speakers depending on your input frequency. If ran in the stereo mode, you get the left and right ballance controls from your radio.
A multi-channel amp is an amp consisting of 3 or more channels. These amps also can usually be bridged down to two or even one channel. These multi-channel amps allow for both left and right ballance controls as well as front to rear fader controls if done properly. If you use a 4 channel amp and use 4 seperate input channels from your radio, you can utilize the full ballance and fader controls.
If your radio has any kind of surround sound processor, you would want to take full advantage of this. Since you are using a DVD multimedia head unit, chances are that it is set up for the 5.1 surround sound or even higher processing. If this is the case, you will want to seperate the left, right, front, and rear channels as best as possible with the amps. Now you can either do this with a 4-channel amp, or even 2 2-channel amps. If you do this, you will acheive the best overall sound when watching movies.
There are many other factors between the different amps, but this is the basics as far as your question goes. I hope this has been of help.
