surround sound "pre-wire"
All-
If this is the wrong board for this, please comment. I just purchased a new construction home. I purchased a surround sound pre-wire. This has left the wires dangling from dry wall... I was expecting some hookups for my speakers, not loose wires... in addition the new stereo cabinet I bought has moved the receiver too far from the point where the wires could connect directly into the receiver. So a "face plate" was suggested to hook the wires behind the drywall into the face plate, then hook my receiver into the face plate. third issue is the sub woofer is wired with coaxial cable (not RCA connections). I was told I could purchase a face plate which would convert co ax signal/ cable to an RCA plug. My system includes: pioneer receiver (RCA inputs for sub woofer) yamaha front speakers bose center speaker (needs RCA connection) infinity rear spreakers My pre wire has 7 dry wall wire locations: 1&2) rear left and right speakers (these could hook right into rear speakers, but looks tacky coming out of dry wall.... thoughts? 3 and 4) front left and right speakers (one of these can hook directly into speaker, other wire might be a couple inches short, and these also look tacky comming stright out of dry wall. 5) center channel wire (I just realized I haven't pulled this wire out to see if it will reach my center channel) 6) sub woofer coaxial cable coming out of dry wall. My sub woofer cannot accept this cable 7) a 7th location which has the wires routed through it- 5 speaker wires and coaxial cable none of which reach my receiver and the co-ax needs to be converted to RCA. If anyone has any experience dealing with a problem like this, please let me know. best regards. jIM |
