New member Username: Apparently_a_moronPost Number: 1 Registered: May-09 | Hi there, I have a 37" Vizio LCD TV that is hooked up to my comcast HD cable box via HDMI1 and a Playstation 3 via HDMI2. I was given a killer BOSE speaker system with 5 cubes and 1 module/subwoofer, with all the power and speaker cables. I do not have a receiver of any kind. What do I need to buy to hook all this up and make it work? |

Since the speakers were given to us, I really don't want to go overboard on a receiver. Would this be something that we could hook the PS3 up to also so we could watch Blu Ray and DVD's in surround? |
