Well, if you want to be /really/ cheap, you can hook up a rear set of
speakers in what is called a haffler circuit (I believe) to produce a
sort of quasi-surrond sound. I recommend you do this with a tough
amplifier (4€ if possible). Don't turn it up too loud (more than about
30-40% of full power), or you might blow some internal fuses.

(rear speakers)
It's not as good as real dolby surround but gives a little better sound
than stereo alone. Some l-pad volume controls may be useful in
regulating the rear channel volume. You can also use a separate
amplifier if you have one lying around. If you're short on speakers,
only one rear speaker is really necessary.
If you can build a subwoofer, those are nice too.
