I just got a bass speaker to hook up to my tv, i had to use an adapter and hook it into a headphone jack. That worked but now the sound only comes through the bass speaker. how do i get it to come through the tv as well
Answer
Yes when using the headphone jack output it then shuts off the output to the speakers, so no you cannot hook it up the way you have it. It would depend weather your TV has a pair of variable RCA left and right audio output jacks on the back, This then would allow the main speakers to play and would also vary the output to the subwoofer so the volumes would also be able to track together.
Problem there might be that most audio outputs from TV's are fixed so check to see if the audio output of your TV is variable. It might have a switch on the back or in the TV's menu allow the output to be selected to fixed or variable. If its fixed only no you it will not work.
If it is a variable output then you have to combine the left and right channels to make a single mono signal (you can use a pair of RCA y adapters you can get at radioshack) and combine the left and right to make a single mono signal.

i am trying to build a home entertainment system what are the best speakers?
James L
My parents are trying to build a home entertainment system what are the best speakers that are under 500 dollors, i would really prefer something between 200 and 300 thou if I can get good quality speakers for that much.
Answer
Spend the $500, even more would be better, speakers are the most important part of sound. I don't get the $1000 on a receiver and only $200 on speakers, stupid. $1000 on speakers and $200 on the receiver.
At or around $500 it doesn't really matter as long as it's not Bose (stay away from Bose)
Boston Acoustics MCS 100 Home Theater Speaker ~$500
Polk Audio RM85 Home Theater Speaker System ~$500
Mirage NANOSAT Home Theater Speaker System ~$600
These are approximates you might find them cheaper.
There are many others. Remember you get what you pay for (well not bose, with them you get even less, way less), things cost more for a reason.
