    I went out and baught 5.1 surround sound. However, the two rear (left and right speakers) you can barely hear them in a movie or while listening to music. Is this suppose to be??? Because I really have to move my head really close to the speakers in order to hear them working. I talked to my friend chris and he said all the speakers should all pound equally the same. If this is the case I am going to get 2.1's that will work the same amount as the 5.1's are.

    I also have a wicked system upstairs in my living room for my big ass tv and its the same problem with the rear speakers.
