I have a Sony home theater system and want to add outdoor speakers?

Chandler

I have a Sony home theater system and in the back it has the fitted speaker plugs so there is nowhere else to plug extra speakers in. Is there and spliceing or a simple solution to run speakers outside. even something extra I could purchase?? Thanks

Answer
You can't just splice in extra speakers. It cuts the impedance load of the speakers and will fry your amp (Two 8 Ohm speakers = 4 Ohms which will destroy most home theater receivers). Also, do you want your outdoor speakers playing every time you listen to your system?

There are speaker switches with built-in protection circuitry to keep the impedance safe when multiple speakers are selected... or you could use an integrated amplifier hooked up to your tape outs to power the outdoor speakers with their own amp, probably the best sounding and safest solution as the amps in home theater receivers aren't that robust. This would also allow controlling the volume and tone of the outdoor speakers separately, wouldn't stress your receiver at all and wouldn't change the sound of your main speakers at all.

This looks like maybe a newer model with a couple more features for less money...

What is a point of a home theater speaker system?

Ben S

I want to buy one for my new xbox 360 becuase someone recommend it to me and said games sound a lit better and sound quality is improved. I dom't seem to understand, i know 1080p enhances game display on the screen (TV) and makes it crisp and sharp, but what does a home theater does to my 360 games or just plain old movies or anything on tv. There just 5 speakers coming from different places. When you hear something in the game the guy or any one elses voice will sound the same regarding home theater. So ehat does it really do to sound i mean it sound the same, it does make it louder but other than that is it worth it spending $200-300 for a decent home theater?

Answer
Hi,
Ok most people other have never head quality sound especially if you are under 21 and listen to apple itunes etc. The reason is most of this stuff is in mp3 format, go buy the original CD and listen to the difference you will notice a huge difference stuff you never new was there. This is the kind of experience a home theather brings to gaming and movies. if a movie cost $100 million to make a good portion of that cost is sound effects and quality which requires more then the two speakers which come with the TV. The is especially true in gaming today. If you are a sniper and laying down in a field how do you know if someone is coming upon you from behind? Surround sound will allow you to hear from all sides like as if your where there. The catch is you have to spend from my personal research about 1K to get a decent system. When shopping dont just look at the watts look also at the frequancy range the lowest to highest the better the sound quality. Get the right system you will be blown away.

Thanks,
