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:

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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
