Doc,

I suppose you could fire everything through a mixer, then with some ingenious routing, end up with a pair of 5.1 surround-sound systems that would be 1,000 watts RMS. The hookup, however, for a gigging musician, would be a nightmare.

Almost forgot. A local restuarant where I used to perform just installed a Z-5500 5.1 system as a permanent house sound system. The speakers are all mounted high on the walls, one in each corner of the room, and the center speaker is mounted directly overhead, in the center or the room and facing straight down. The sub sits beneath a Baby Grand where no one can see it, and the remote receiver sits on a window ledge. When the guy at the piano, who also plays a keyboard through the system as well, fires up and performs the sound is awesome and fills the entire room with incredible sounding vocals and music.

Cheers,

Gary
