alright, you home audio gurus and ultimate deal finders I need help!

[iamwiz82]

I'm looking to buy a new reciever, since it seems mine is dying. Currently, the center output is so distorted that it is useless and the right output has a VERY VERY VERY annoying hum to it. I have tried different combos of speakers, which did not help it.

Anyways, i need some good ones, preferably under $250. I also am looking for a power inverter(300Watts), a GPS unit with software for a PC and an FM modulator. I'm looking to spend $450 or so. Hopefully at the same place for everything.

Can anyone help me find some good deals for all of this stuff, please?

Pioneer.
You might be able to find a DTS model for that price range too.

Something like the Pioneer VSX-D510 would probably be a good entry level unit.

I've always been a fan for pioneer for most budget dolby digital receivers.

I've seen some nice deals on higher end receivers at CostCo B&M.
