Anyone have any recommendations to what would best???

At the moment I have a 40" Samsung HD lcd and ps3 and want a home theatre system to do the ps3 justice.

I'm setting a pretty tight budget as that's all I have to spend, around $400-$800.

Open to suggestions but I'm after something with full 360degree HD sound, doesn't have to be overly loud just good quality and fairly compact (Satellite speakers are a maybe) & looking for wireless capabilities.

Any help appreciated,

Brett.

Mate even those cheap surround systems can be good.I bought some no name brand thing from Aldi.The thing is awesome for the price.

Here are some systems in your price range:

I think you need an amp for the Creative products,im not sure.

How big is the size of the room where the PS3 is in?

Logitech Z5500 would be good for small to mid size rooms & they are available in about every electronic shop.

For larger size rooms, I heard those entry level Yamaha home theater packages are pretty decent (comes with a 5.1ch receiver & speakers), think JB hi fi have some in stock.

Nah, they should have build in amp like most other PC speakers.

If you can afford to wait and save a bit extra I'd recommend you get a bigger system. The ps3's sound quality it awesome and you should try to maximise it! I use it watch all my movies and stuff on as well as gaming. It kicks arse!

Try to get a 6.1 receiver. Yamaha is always a good price for what you get in return. And get some solid speakers! JB or Harvey Normal have a good range. Harvey Norman usually has a higher floor price, but you be able to negotiate a waaaaaaaay lower price than JB. (usually). Accusound are good speakers! Australian made too :banana:

Good find might have a bit more of read-up on these.

The room is fairly small that's thing I won't need a super power full system, only prob is it's an open room and no door...

Also considering this system here it has the optical link, and the anynet connection that will go well the samsung lcd

In that case, the Z5500 would be good for you, that or any other high end PC speakers, (from like Creative, Altec lansing etc etc)

The Z5500 has optical input with build in DD & DTS decoders, & I'm pretty sure most other high end PC speakers also do.

The link doesn't work.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
