Hi guys, I am a complete newb when it comes to home theater, but I have been offered a great deal on some components but want to make sure they all work together.

The parts are:

Carver pre-amp with radio tuner
Carver M-500t amp from the late 80's
BSR Equalizer
4 foot Infiniti tower speakers (with 1 blown mid)

All this for $300!

So my question is:

A. Will I be able to plug this all in to a TV to use it as a theater system - I presume I just run a wire from the TV's audio out to the pre-amps' audio in?

B. Do the Carver preamps usually have Dobly decoders and such (I dont have a model number yet)..if not, can I buy decoders that will enable stuff like THX, etc?

C. Where can I find replacement speakers for the blown mid in the Infiniti tower (again, no model number yet)?

D. Should I buy auxilliary fans for the amp? The guy said that when it's going for a long period of time really loud sometimes it shuts down - my guess is from heat sink.

Thanks in advance everyone!!

Eli
