Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Hiding Wires

Thanks, Mark... that was the stuff I was thinking of.

Thanks Tom. I looked back at my receipt and actually highballed the price I paid it was just under $15.00 but that gets me cable runs 360 degrees around the room. Not sure exactly what brand Mark used but the local stuff similar to that cost about $8.00/6’ and I needed about 80’ total of the stuff to run wires all the way around the room to the R/wide and R/surround plus a double run to the back wall since I wouldn’t be able to fit 2xHDMI, 1xVGA and 4x14gauge wire in one of them. Now I still have room for another double HDMI and single VGA run if I add a second projector later and probably enough space left over to upgrade to at least a 25.4 speaker configuration.

BTW running the wiring through the vaulted ceiling to the back and right walls was not doable which is why I had to come up with another method. Plus have you ever climbed up in an attic in Phoenix during the Summer? Not pleasant if I had to change or add something later.

Attics in Virginia in the mid-summer are no better. I installed a plywood floor in my attic a few years ago. I must have sweat a gallon while I was up there. I was worried that I was going to electrocute myself with the circular saw.

I was an electrician for my Dad as a kid in Bullhead City, AZ and spent many a day during the summer in an attic. I preferred to think of it as a luxury spa with an itchy sauna. My current attic and I in NC know each other very well also these days.

Gets a tad warm in Bullhead City.


I've only lived in Virginia in Jan and Feb and I wouldn't want to go into an
attic then either.
