Long story short, moved away from my family 15 yr ago and Mom could use a special gift to show off... She said she wanted a system so I plan on going all out.
I know I can do it cheaply NOT DIY but the point is to build it...thats what will make it special to her.
She will give me 1000 - I plan to spend 1500.
I need help because I can't get it down to 1500
NOTE - She really like Bose sound so accurate may not be ideal
NOTE 2 - I have 2 fusion-8 she can have, they can be counted as $200 on the budget
Here is what I am mostly set on
AVR - Onkyo 805 (blown HDMI board) ---$70
Accessories - switcher for onkyo, universal remote etc --- $200? (approx)
Room Treatment - Planned to build diffusors and absorbers behind MLP - $200? (approx)
Leaves me with about $1000 for subs and 5 speakers.
For subs - Would cost approx $400 (if amp fits)
Thinking 2 x infinity 1262w in 3' cu tuned to 25hz
Would put one in front one near MLP
Issue is I need an amp to power them and time align.
Thinking nu1000 dsp... Will it put out enough power without bump/conversion box??
For speakers
Was thinging Volt 6 all around or 3 fusion-6 fronts with volt sides
Considering the power the onkyo can put out... Should I just make something like classics and save money??
