Alright, got my batteries, subs, sub amps, wires, terminal rings, HU, and crossover all figured out. Already have my highs/mids/amps. Working on an HT as well, looking to go surround 6.1 or 7.1 with 21" Maelstrom-X's as well, MTM with Kevin's Anarchy cheap tweet crossover. May get an HDTV...

So, I want to be able to hook my laptop to my HU if I so desire, as well as to my HDTV to watch online on the HDTV.

Will I need a special sound card? What kind of connector, as I believe the PXA-H701 will use up the optical cable/connector and the Ai-Net cable/connector.

So far:

6 Shuriken BT-80's

4 Hifonics BXi2610D's

Alpine W200

Alpine PXA-H701

HO alt TBD

Already have:

4 Adire Audio Extremis 6.4's

Kicker KX850.4 (needs repair for 1 channel's crossover)

2 Adire Audio/CSS/Exodus FR125S's

Kicker KX350.4 (bridge since FRs are 8 ohm)

2 Vifa XT25TG30 1" Ring Radiator tweets

Kicker KX200.1 (needs repair, blown)

For home:

looking for THX Ultra certified because I am told they must be able to drive a 4 ohm load to obtain this certification, Anarchy's are 8ohm, so MTM would parallel 2 per channel

12 or 14 Exodus Audio Anarchy's, build the crossovers Kevin designs, use either the cheap tweets he designs them for or Dan Wiggin's XBL^2 tweets shhhhhh

HDTV

2 Exodus Audio Maelstrom-X 21's

2 EP4000's (or EP2500's)

I want the laptop to be able to hook up at home and in car.

Thanks!

You will want to connect to the aux input of the W200, not directly to the H701. Not sure if the w200 has aux video to use your laptop to play movies though.
