audio wiring entering wall but missing a good faceplate..
Hi, I have 4 audio cables entering the wall of my house through a hole
that is missing its wallplate/faceplate. These cables go to speakers around the house. Because of this, during winter, cold air comes through this hole. Is there some kind of faceplate that can allow cables to go through it, but yet forms some kind of seal to keep out cold air? There is a J-box in this hole. So I should be able to just screw on an approp wallplate/faceplate. The size of the hole is the same size as that for a normal 2 socket power receptacle. Thanks |

Thanks I'm usually not a big fan of Home Depot, but they do have a pretty good selection of specialty connector plates for audio. And, in the same part of the store as the weatherstripping, you'll find foam things made to be installed behind electrical plates to cut down on cold air seepage. You'll probably need to customize one using a razor blade. |

Thanks I used this when I hooked up the surround sound system in my house. Do a search on speaker wall plate at radio shack to find similar products. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...tPage=sear ch RichB www.beachtradingco.com |
