Hi,

My name is Chris. I am new to this forum.

I need some advice. I have a mixture of stereo components including:

Receiver Yamaha HTR5550

CD changer Onkyo Dx-V380

Speakers Bose 201 series IV

Sub JBL Sub135

I pieced these components together based on what was on sale, not because I thought that they were complimentary to each other. I used this system in my workshop and garage so the goal was to get some sound, save space, and save money.

We recently moved to a new house and the needs have changed.

I would like to be able to set this system up on my rear patio from time to time.

I tried it last night. Here is what I experienced:

Decent base, ok volume, no clear high-end sound and muted middle range.

Obviously, being outside, there is a much bigger space to fill.

What is the cheapest way for me to get more volume, bigger sound, less distortion and clearer sound?

Please advise.

Thanks!
