The wife and I are soon to be movng into our new house. One project that I would reeally ike to undertake in the next few months is a quality DIY Home Theatre/Living Room.
Currently, I have a tiered 3 level glass shelf, similar to this, just a little wider
My problem with he stand is with the peripherals, there is really no good way to cut down on wire clutter, and with the setup of the stand I hate the way the wires look.
In the new place, I might be hanging the TV on the wall, which leaves me with an even bigger issue of hiding reciever inputs and power cables into the TV, into the wall. I have seen many clean setups, but havn't really found any good DIY guides to doing clean LCD on the wall installs.
Also, probably putting in a nice 5.1 or 7.1 sound system, with wall to wall carpeting, is the best way to run wires under the carpet, along the baseboard or through the drywall somehow.
And lastly, as far as getting a clean look for all the peripherals (Recievers, Game Systems, Satellite Box, Blu Ray) I don't necessarily want them to be in the room, possibly wired in from a nearby closet, which Im assuming I need a IR remote/relay system to control them...but im not really smart on all that, I might just end up putting them on the old TV stand, but I ould like to hear options if anyone has them.
Any guides or tips for installs, are greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys, look forward to any and all advice!
