Need system setup help.

Hello. I am another noob to the whole HT thing. I'd like to think that i am well versed in electronics, but the amount of products out there is just overwhelming.


I have recently bought a vizio L37 LCD. Already getting 22 Digital channels Don't like the pixel artification if that is what it's called but over all it's a good tv.


Now I am trying to set up a component HT system. But I have taken a slightly wrong order of purchasing components


I have first bought 4 floor standing speaker palkaudio r30 (could not go wrong with $44 each new)

Next I am set on buying onkyo 503 7.1 receiver. But for now I will set it up for 5.1 since not too many movies are available in 6.1 7.1 as I was told. Also another reason for not setting up 7.1 is because my couch is set up right against the wall and there is no way to put the speaker even a little bit back


What I want is a well rounded system so I don't have super pooper subwoofer and crappy center channel. Keep in mind I still would like to listen to regular audio thorough this system... So I need advise on right sub and center channel.

Actual Questions:

I was advised by a friend to get a

DAYTON SUB-120 150 WATT POWERED SUBWOOFER

Is this a right one for my current set up.


And also I need an advice for appropriate center channel (hopefully from polk line up)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please keep in mind that finances don't have exact numbers but I really don't want to and up with a $1000 dollar system. Oh wait.


So far 4 speakers $230

receiver $250

Oh man looks like I will end up with a $900 system :-( ~$250 center $120 sub :-(


Thanks All help appreciated.
