Hey,

I'm looking to get a surround sound rig up for personal uses but I'm not sure where to start, I'm pretty lost when it comes to this. Where would I start?

I'm basically looking for these questions to be answered:
What components would I need?
Would any surround sound receiver do?
Wattage?
Would any speakers be suitable or do I need special surround sound speakers?
What kind of cables do I need, I've seen some with RCA and some with others.
 
Do you just want a system for listening or for mixing your own music in surround? If you want to put together a mixing system do a search and there were a few threads going into detail on the systems.
 
Just for listening, maybe mixing at some point but not anytime soon
 
Another question, what are decoders and how do they work in a surround sound setup?
