okay....well I just now blew my sub on my Z-5500s so thats sucks but life goes on (somehow when things break, i hardly get mad, a few choice obscenities and im okay). Right now as a temporary measurement i grabbed an old sub out of the closet, cut the wire from the Z5500 sub and hooked it into the other sub and....well it doesn't sound as good but it works. Anyways...

Here is my problem....
I'm think about one of 3 things.....

1. I want to just replace the Z-5500s with another set

2. I'll buy the Creative Gigaworks 7.1 S750

3. I want to custom build a theater system for my comp (amp and all) (mostly because I've always wanted to hear what 1000+ watts sounded like on a computer)

Now for the questions....

1. Is an extra 200 watts worth $150 more? (cheapest price diff i could find between Z5500 and S750)

2. Do the S750s sound much better (well being made by Creative and an extra 200 watts, this is prolly obvious but is the difference noticeable?)

3. If I make my own, is it possible to do true 5.1 (or 7.1 if i feel like it) sound?

4. If I make my own, is it going to be more than $300-$400?

5. Your opinion on what I should get....
