I now have a PS3, XBOX360, wii, genisis, super nintendo and nintendo 64. Besides the 7.1 setup. Needless to say its a mess of stuff sitting everywhere and wires in knots. I need some ideas of how to handle this and what entertainment setups are out there so lets see them please.

Looks good.

Any problems with overheating with that setup?

Also multiple hammers is probably overkill. One should have done it. A buddy of mine has the same setup with a sledge. That thing slams....

 

THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MANY HAMMERS

LOL

 

This is how my setup looked in my old house, which will be in my new house, after the basement is finished/partitioned this winter.

Just six theater seats with a 9 inch riser platform for the backrow.

96" inch fixed frame Carada screen, Sony sound components.

 

Hopefully once the next theater-room is finished it will look more "theater-ish" which it should since I'll be doing everything from scratch anyway.

73" Mitsubushi DLP TV (1080p)

 

Harmon Kardon AVR-254 7.1 receiver with

HDMI audio processing

 

Sony 400 disc DVD changer

 

PS3 and Wii

 

Yamaha NS-C444 center channel (piano finish) - pictures show my older center channel - this one is much bigger so some of the stuff is arranged differently on the TV stand now

 

Yamaha NS-777 front channel speakers (piano finish)

 

Polk R30 surround speakers

 

Sony bookshelf rear channel speakers.

 

Velodyne 10" sub.

 

I wall fished all the speaker wire, so all the surround speakers have their own jacks. I also wall fished a CAT5 line to feed my PS3. We will build a theater room once we finish our basement, but this does very well for now.

All of the visible wires are in that black looming now that someone else mentioned. I'm sure there are other places to get around town or maybe cheaper online, but I got it at Micro Center. You can get a lot of different little connectors there too, like every 90 degree hdmi connector to help route the cables.

 

If you own a house run the wires through the walls and get wall plates from Micro Center or http://www.monoprice.com

 

 

For behind the a/v stuff, put everything in there 1 by 1 and run the wires. Wrap the wires up and hold them together with something. I use simple wire ties, like you get with trash bags or on bread bags. Very easy to use and reuse. Be methodic and slow with this process and it will help.

 

You can get some 'exact' length (by the foot) cables from these websites to help cut down on the wire clutter.

Tartan is their less expensive but still very well made line. Owned in the USA, all HDMI cables terminated in the US and probably the only place that makes HDMI cables in the US. All but 1 of their HDMI cable lines is made in the US.

I do agree with Jones. And sure, no one posted threir address. But all it takes is following someones posts who have shit a trief would want. Almost everyone posts something to give away where they live. Stock their posts, and you will probably find there house by their car, if not address. People who post all there weapons info are the ones I fear this happening to.

 

Though your info wanted would be fun to share, I fear those that would see it as a shopping spree at mine or other members expense.

 

Very nice stuff guys.

I can definitely see that point, especially about guns. Which is why outside of my very few home-protection firearms(luckily my wife trained in law enforcement so she's very comfortable shooting), I have a monitored alarm system with motion and glass-break detection, interior-installed NID, and a dog that weighs more than I do (200+ he hasn't been to the vet in awhile so Im not totally sure), and doesn't care for strangers. Not that any of that stuff makes me "comfortable" per se. It's too bad there are so many worthless fucks in this world.

People need more of this. But now I would just have a better idea of what I need to bypass to have your things. LOL

 

Sorry for minor thread jack.

ok, i guess you are correct. I live where there is really no crime (out in the country) so I dont think about that stuff. The pics helped, now I'm trying to figure out how to arrange things so the 360, PS3, HK receiver and cable box do not heat soak eachother all below the Plasma.

I was going to say make sure you have a reasonable amount of space for everything. With all of those game systems you'll need something bigger than your typical entertainment center. If you try to put too many electronics in too small of an area you will fight with cable management every time.
