I have a record player I’m currently using a jbl charge 3 as a speaker for, and I really want to upgrade my sound setup because my car is better than my house. The problem is I’m in about a 1200 sq ft house, and there’s not a ton of room in any room. Any ideas on how to pimp out an audio setup without too much floor space?

    Get a surround sound receiver that has Dolby ProLogic (it lets you expand 2 channel into simulated 5 channel). You’ll want to make sure it has optical input and possibly Bluetooth functionality.

    Got a couple of really high quality 125-150W RMS studio monitor towers or just tower speakers.

    Get any random 8-in or 10-in down firing active subwoofer.

    If you feel compelled you can fill in the other channels… grab some 50W RMS cheaper bookshelf speakers for those.

    You should be able to accomplish this whole feat for less than $400 used on Facebook marketplace.

    A good quality used receiver should be around $100. Good studio monitor speakers as I expect should be around $200, sub and extras no more than $100.

    There is no reason to go out and pay $5,000 for an audio setup when you can build it yourself with a little knowledge for a couple hun
