Default Budget home theater build for a newbie

Hi, I am new to the forums. I hope I can get some good input about setting up my first home theater system. Please bare in mind, that I have never setup a home theater system in my life.

On to what I know. I purchased my home last June and it is pre-wired for surround sound. I have 6 areas in the wall that have wiring.

(please forgive me in advance for the bad pictures. I used my iPhone)

Back of room - Wiring outlets on my back-wall x 2



Front of Room - Wiring outlets towards the front of my room x 2 (red circle, other not pictured)



Front Wall Behind TV - X 2 (one high, one low)

High -

Low -

Am I correct to assume;
-The back two speaker outlets are for rear speakers
-The front two speaker outlets are for front speakers
-The two speaker outlets on my wall where I have my TV, I don't know what they are for? Can anyone shed some light?

With all that said, I have been experiencing movies with TV speakers for 27 years, sans movie theaters. I am looking for a budget system. I'd really like to keep it in the $500 range. I am not a huge audio file, but I'd love some extra umphff when watching movies. I don't need the best stuff out there.

Looking at the newbie thread, I found these - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=polk%20rm6750

Are these good for my setup? What else would I need to buy to get these speakers up and running?

Currently, I have a 52in Samsung LCD and PS3.

Be gentle...
