This uses the little digital T amp to power the upper frequencies using the small speakers, plus an inexpensive, simple to construct DIY powered sub.

Search for TA2024... they're a lot cheaper as boards. Put two or three stereo modules in a single box, fed from a DVD or BD player that has line-level surround outputs (and built-in volume control). It should be quite adequate for a bedroom or dorm setup. For bass, get a cheap powered sub or power something from a spare stereo receiver or integrated amp.
Setting up a 2.1 channel system neednt be costly. You may already have a 2 channel amp or receiver you can use. If not, the "T" amp idea is one approach that costs $50 or so. But you can buy a new Stereo receiver at a big box retailer for $100 or so, too.
You may have some small stereo speakers you want to use. But there are also new speakers that would work well in this application for $50 a pair if you check the various on-line retailers, and give you better sound and stereo separation than the TV speakers
There is a nice little self-powered sub from Yamaha with 8-inch woofer generally available on ebay for about $70, or you can DIY one of these as I outlined for about $50 in parts.
