help needed for surround sound system

Hey. I'm looking to get a decent surround sound system going for myself. Do note that I will be on a budget (350 or less), so nothing uber expensive. But what I am looking for, and having trouble finding, is a receiver that outputs 150w to the center channel and 100w to the others. Also needs a sub output. If you need any more info just ask. Also, if you know of a decent setup that goes for 600-700 bucks, by all means list it. I want enough to shake the sh!t outta my room at home and at college. Thanks all.

speakers im looking at
sub im looking at

You've seen Crutchfield? Some pretty decent stuff.

The onkyo hts-650 is widely regarded as the best complete system in the $500 range. You get a good receiver, 5 speakers and a sub and it sounds fantastic. Crank up the sub and you'll be literally shaking the walls. I got mine at circuit city for $499.

Anything in the $350 range is going to sound really crappy....sorry.

I agree with the Home theater in a box.. The onkyo and the Kenwood htb-505 are the top contenders from what I have been reading on the hometheaterforums. I got myself a Kenwood HTB-505, it's crystal clear, and very loud. Very simple to setup.

But, it sounds like you may be looking for something more high end. I would check out hometheaterforum.com to get recommendations
