I want to hook up my sony bdps370 with my home theatre system. the home theatre system is dvd, it has 1x component at the back, 1x rca, the speaker areas, no optical audio out or hdmi out.

So can i do this or not?

it is a 550W RMS System.

i have recently bought a Microlab X5 5.1 home theater system. I got it unspeakably cheap since the guy didn't use it much. problem is- the 8" 4ohms 90W RMS woofer in the subwoofer has some holes around the foam rims.

I plan on changing only the woofer with a car woofer (what you see in the car subwoofer box). My concern is- if the ratings like watt, ampere, match- should i go for one? is there anything I'm missing out on?
NOTE - not the cabinet or box, just the 8" woofer guys.

I'm thinking of building a nice home theater system. Just have a few q's about the subwoofers.

I want this system to be capable of sub-20-Hz bass, not necessarily super-duper-loud but I do want some infrasonic shake. This 18" woofer seems good: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=293-666

However, 18-inch woofers aren't as "punchy" from what I heard. Would it be OK to also use a 12-inch woofer for more punch (with the 18-inch for the deeper bass)?

Also, that 18-incher takes 2,000W RMS and 8,000W peak. The biggest home theater subwoofer plate amp puts out 1,000 watts -- is there any way to combine two of them safely?

The room will be a soundproof theater room in a basement.

I have a 3 yr old Sony DAV-DZ120K home theatre, it has a dvd player and 5.1 channel speakers..

now the dvd player is not working, the lens is gone, i dont wanna get it repaired, as everyone knows that even after repairing it works for just a few days.

I asked in sony if i can buy only a DVD player, but they are saying that its not possible....

I just want a DVD player and im ready to pay for it, but here are some issues:

1. the pins at the end of the speaker cables which go into the back of the DVD player are those plastic clip ones, which we normally have for our landline phones and also in LAN cable. New standalone DVD players have rounded female type inputs.

2. the company said the output is 800w RMS, but how can i know what rating, etc. type of DVD player i should get?
There are those jacks as mentioned by you, but the problem is the DVD player is not reading any disks, the speakers are working just fine. I want a DVD player behind which i can connect these speakers.
oh i got your point now, see the thing is the speakers are connected to the back end of the dvd player, if ur guessing that I am having a amplifier or something, then that isnt the case.
