Richard van Pukkem im starting to understand why americans home get so damaged by hurricanes and floods.. Its nothing more then stabilized paper with small wooden sticks holding up the floors. In a real house you can mount a CRT TV to the wall. In this house I even be careful to put my hand on the wall. :/

Yes, this is a fairly fast and simple example on "wiring a home theatre system" in most homes. Mounting the wall plate/bracket can be more involved- take lots more time and call for the use of different hardware depending on the way type, wall mount and TV size and weight. Further, it's a generally good idea to try to keep the low voltage signal wires (HDMI) away from the higher voltage AC power whenever possible to avoid the potential for electrical interference. A good "rule of thumb" is to simply not to run them together inside the wall.

This is great for making an entertainment space look super clean. I totally recommend it. I recently helped my dad install an entire basement entertainment space with a projector and 7.2 surround sound. Not a single wire can be shown. We created a little base station in a different room that hides all the cables, receiver and multimedia PC. Quite the setup!

This video should be called "how to hide your wires".

I have an issue with running the low voltage wires so close to the romex. Shielded or not, the low voltage wires should be at least 8 inches away from the romex especially since they are parallel to each other.

Nice clean job - You guys certainly know what u are doing

I just did this but never thought of hiding the stuff right by the couch or something ... that is a smart idea.

Scott seems really cool. And knowledgeable.

That TV seemed kind of low, better than having it above a fireplace though, I hate those set ups, they are too high.

I enjoyed it thanks 🙏

OMG I NEED THIS. ive looked all day to see how to get the speakers up

Great video!

Dvd player ? what year was this filmed?

I love the new USB single outlet. They use them now in RV's to power and charge other devices. Without the need to run separate low voltage cables.

Thanks this video helped a lot

Nice new outlets awesome

I started replacing some of our receptacles with ones that support USB. In my case, they still have two outlets, but you add the two USB outlets on top of that. They are really handy. I don't put them everywhere, but outlets in bathrooms, in the kitchen (esp. on the counter), and in our offices? Amazing.

Just be aware they usually don't support the same fast charging standards (higher voltage/amperages smartly negotiated over the cable) as modern phones, so a lot of phones will charge much slower. That said a slow charge isn't bad - actually better for your battery - so they're perfect for trickle charging overnight or at your desk. A lot of small gadgets charge off USB these days too and it works well for those.

I’ve done this myself 5x in my house. It’s not that hard, but a helper makes it much easier for TVs larger than 50”. Tip: Use high quality HDMI cables, and run a spare through the wall as HDMI cables go bad in about 3-5 years. Use the spare when the original goes bad, and then when you have time, use the bad one to pull another spare through.

That's awesome

Hey installer Scott, you need to leave that razor knife in the bag and use a Sheetrock saw. Much cleaner cuts and it is faster.

I would like to have seen the process behind mounting the speakers and where the wires went. Also where the lines for the repeaters and where the IR repeater receiver was placed. Directly on the TV? Lastly, the receptacle that can charge a phone... Can it also charge an iPad? The adapters for iPhone and iPad are different.

Love y'all's show, and have been watching for years! My question is how do you mount a t.v. on a mobile home wall?

For anyone out there who doesn't know how to do this job, Any wall you'll need to run wires into will be automatically pre-drilled at the bottom between the studs, just wave your hand holding the wire in that area and you'll notice it is predrilled with an ample amount of room for a large bundle of wires. (I worked installing alarms for ADT, I prided myself at getting a wire into a room/place that others could not), so I do not understand how this video would help anyone who hasn't run wire, a monkey could stuff a wire through a pre-existing hole, Its learning how to drill into the correct spots that is ignored here, See Blanca W's comment for instance.

Its nice, but mounted a little to low i think.

@thomaslanik7215

Mounting a TV above a fireplace and mantle seems logical and "right" but for homes that use the TV often it's a mistake. The higher viewing angle will soon cause "neck fatigue". Many homeowners pick over the fireplace locations to avoid redesigning the living room seating and furniture- it's a poor compromise if the TV is used on a regular basis. But, tastes vary and logic can take a secondary priority.

You're screwed

I feel like this is an overly complicated way to hang a tv. Just buy a tv stand that features both a mount and little channels to discretely run wires from the cable box and DVD player stored below the tv. You’ll save yourself the hassle of running wires and cutting holes in walls. You can even buy special holders to mount the sound bar below the tv, once again avoiding the need to drill holes in the wall. If you run wires thru the walls and floor, good luck troubleshooting and replacing wires if you begin experiencing issues with any of the components.

I think I'd run some piping or something from one end of the cable management hole to the other. That way I don't have to eff with the basement to run cables. Just fishtape through the pipe and call it a day.

Where do you get wires that long ?

The wall is covered in plaster. It's probably has wood lath behind it. You didn't notice the detail? Scoring the plaster with a knife prevents chipping of the plaster when the actual cut is made. In fact, you can see where he didn't score the plaster deeply enough and ended up chipping the plaster anyway.
