Speaker System Revamp (fraternity House)

Hi guys I am a member of a fraternity in Ohio. We have a good sized fraternity house with a really bad sound system. The party area is made of three separate rooms in the shape of an "L". When I first got there they had a small Sony 5.1 receiver and a really old Sony CD changer. There were 4 or 5 50 watt max power RCA speakers. The wires were run all over the place and were differing in lengths from 6 feet to around 50 feet. Even worse they just jammed the wires into the front left and right terminals. IT WAS BAD. With a budget of pretty much nothing I added a 110 watt per channel Pioneer 6.1 receiver that one of the guys had, two 150 watt 10in subwoofers that I had, upgraded the speakers to 8 JBL 5in venue monitors, added a Monster Cable speaker selector, bought 16 gauge speaker wire to make the lengths equal and used a digital optical cable. Anyways I am in the process of raising money and was wondering what I should get to upgrade the components. I want the use of the subwoofers and digital audio, but I am not sure what is best for my multi room set up. With a budget of 500 to 800 dollars what should I do?

I am not sure if this will help, but all we do with the system is play music really really loud for 5-6 hours a night. We only play cds, but we play all formats.

Hi. How does it sound to you now? What is missing from the system? You mention wanting to use the subs and the digital audio - are you using them currently?

Yes I am using the subs through a 1 to 2 splitter and the digital optical but as you know there is always room to improve and upgrade.

And it sounds great, the walls shake, but I know that there is more I can add, but right now I am stummped. I was also wondering if it is worth going to seperates.
