Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners speaker install in new home

I had used the other ones to convert a regular RG-6 cable to a sub cable. Worked great. I was so fixated on MY solution that I messed up the gozintas and gozoutas on Zarak's circumstance.

Those kinds of mistakes are less troubling when mail order isn't involved.

Never run into those two before. No wonder you had trouble!

Thanks again. Just placed the order. I'll see if I can find the rest at home depot, since I need to make a trip anyway.

Goes-intos and Goes-out-ofs

No luck at home depot today. The box I used to run the wires to is of the wider variety. They only had the single size face plates with connectors attached. Also, according to the directions, the speaker wire in the wall needs to be soldered onto the back and then there are connectors on the front to put the wire into that runs to the speakers. Not having a soldering gun, I would prefer a solution where I don't need to solder.

For the cable connection for the sub, I guess the wire will have to attach in the back somehow, and then coming out I'm ok with that one.

Since I had no luck at home depot, I am going to look online and see what I can find. The only thing that might work at home depot are blank plates, but then you have to put what you need in each spot somehow. I'm not sure how this would work.

Thanks again for the help.

You could try Impact Acoustics. I've never bought anything from them, but they seem to have a large (if pricey) selection of bits and pieces.

I've got a bunch of those Leviton keystone plates with different modules in them (speaker terminals, Cat5, phone jack, etc.). They work good, but seem pretty expensive.

I use the Leviton keystones myself. For my two wall plates.

Once you go modular, you never go back. Someday I'll start.

This one from Channel Vision might be overkill, since I don't need the center, left and right fronts. I'm not using the 2nd sub or the back speakers currently, but those don't hurt to have for expansion

It looks like if an end gets put onto my coax run for the sub, I would not even need the adapter, as it is built in.

Or maybe this one from Monoprice

Found one from Parts Express too.

I have to confirm that this and the monoprice one accept 12 AWG. I'll pick one of the three tomorrow once I here back.
