You could get a soundbar or a HTIB at best buy or something.

How does a soundbar work? im looking at them but i dont understand the concept...

Same as all other speakers. It's a bunch of speakers, number depends on manufacturer.
There's a few refurb systems at best buy for under $100.

Personally I'd go soundbar. For $200 that's a really cheap home theater in a box. I picked up a sound bar in boxing day sales for $250 from $350 and it sounds fantastic. I have no idea how it works but I highly recommend it over cheap htib things which I've had before.
