Does anyone have the Xbox Havoc 2.1 system? Is it an good? Does it come with 2 5.1 speakers? Is it easyt to set up? Any information would be greatfully appreciated, Thanks!
If you did just want sound throughout your room, you could buy that system, and place two of the speakers at the back of your room. It would probably just give you the same as what is coming out of your TV though, but if that's all you want, then there's no problem. It just won't be surround sound.
Cheers Tom, that has helped loads, I am not usually into top sound kits so I thought I would try this one but now you have said about the 5.1 KIT it has changed my mind. Like you said, I don't want to them to replace my TV speakers I want 2 extra ones to give me surround sound.
Do you know where I could just buy 2 extra speakers that would hook up to my TV or Xbox just so I can have the sound throughout the room. The only problem with the 5.1 kit is that my mom will keep telling me to turn it down but I will definatley look into it more. As for the speakers, say I just wanted 2 extra ones for the back of my bedroom is it possible to hook them up to my TV or Xbox then run an extension cable so they strech to the back of my room?
Thanks once again though Tom, I will stay away from that system now.

To be honest, I would stay away from systems like this that are "designed for the Xbox" It basically means you'll end up paying more for the same thing.
Is there any possible way you could save up the extra cash and get the full thing? You could probably get a full system for £150, or about £200+ for a very good system. I use to think my TV speakers were good, until I got my Yamaha system. I now have my TV speakers permanently turned down to 0.
Maybe you could lay off buying games for a while, and get the cash to buy a full speaker system by a well known make (like Yamaha, Sony, Panasonic e.t.c.).
You could even try looking around for end of line systems. I got my amp and speakers for £90 less, because it is end of line and doesn't support DTS. But I would never notice/use that anyway. Mine was reduced from £300 to £209.99. It's great! I can plug everything into it! It has two optical inputs so my PS2 and Xbox can be plugged in at the same time. I was thinking of buying a cheaper system, like you. But in the end, I decided seeing as I would be spending some money, then setting up speakers e.t.c, I might as well get it perfect.
And as for the havoc 2.1, are you sure the two speakers provided act like rear speakers? They might just replace the front two, to get better sound from TVs. My reasoning for this is that there is no centre speaker, and the same sort of kit was produced for the PS2, that acted as the front two speakers, not providing Dolby Digital 5.1. Maybe you should ask SR about this? I haven't actually looked up this system, so it might actually say it in the specs, and make me look like a fool :D I dunno, just make sure before you buy it.
But even if it does mean missing out on a few games for a while (you can always win them on GAD) you will not regret spending about £200 on a DD5.1 full system. I love mine so much, I'm currently listening to an album on it. It's hardly ever turned off.
So you said you wanted our oppinions and advice? My advice is to save up the extra money, and really open your wallet on this one. And when you *do* buy a good system, make sure you take someone to help you carry the box. Carrying a 40Kg box around a town centre about 500 metres to the car wasn't easy! ;-)

It is only £39.99, the 5.1 system is £129.99 but the 2.1 system comes with 2 5.1 speakers and that is all I require as my TV speaker are very good and the Sub Woofer that comes with the system is good enough to hold the sound itself. The speakers will go at the back of my room and the subwoofer next to me Xbox. The system has a seperate amp control that can be kept near your seat permenantley. I would just like to know some more about this product, e.g. how long is the cable for the speakers, is the quality clear etc. Although the product isn't out over here yet until July 15th there are reviews around but I just can not find them.
i'm just curious here.how much is it gonna cost?
