This is my Home Theater. We built it in the summer of 2003. I did make some mistakes in buy components for it at first, but eventually corrected those mistakes. The two parts of the system that I would like to upgrade right now are the reciver and the sub. As for sources, we use the cable box, the xbox and the dvd player. As for music, its played off my ipod.
Try lpacing the sub between your mains and the tv. Keep it at the same distance as your main speakers (fronts). This worked well for me and reduced the boominess.
