seems like the single gang low voltage boxes would be a pain to deal with when installing the speakers. Speaker brackets make a world of difference. let me know how that the install goes on those recessed speakers. Should have went with a standard size with 6 or 8 inch woofers, especially on the exterior when dealing with wood. Also your rough in brackets are centered on the wall. Seems logical but always account for the TV wall mount being centered and your low voltage boxes off centered so you dont have a tough time installing TVs centered on studs. Also, when prepping for a rack, come in high with your wire so you can easily pull out the rack to service it. Coming in low will have your rack always running over excess wire. and harder to service.
Great explanation about cabling and really appreciate it. One little suggestion for the cam guy, please please move or turn SLOWLY, coz I feel a little bit dizzy after watching the upstairs and downstair part.
I seen in Theater room that your guys wire was touching high voltage power. That will cause problems down the road whether it be static in audio, latency in video, etc. Also even though most of that stuff gets covered by drywall its always nice to make it look good and keep your wires off the trusts, whether it be with hooks, pull and hook as you go. Id start lacing the WAPS in the ceiling along with the speakers behind speaker rings. Now I have a reasoning behind all this. 1. Never trust any other trade to watch out for your wires. If they have to come back in to fix something in ceiling they most likely won't pay no mind to your wires. Higher up in the ceiling the better. And the WAPS and speakers letting wire hang like that even though it may have not happen yet its always good to take into consideration that drywallers could burry them or cut them and then you'll have to pull that wire again. Any questions just ask! I have tons of tips and clips pictures etc i could message you. 16-2 for sub? Id use 16-4 due to its higher power. 16-2 for in ceiling speakers alarm etc. 16-4 for siren, touch screen/iPad. Motion. The cameras should be different color than blue cat to speed up labeling and trimming when it comes to that stage. Idk its just the way id do things. Good job though!
Do you ever take a similar approach with ENT conduit (smurf tube)? Save on the copper wiring and give flexibility for any cable type in the future. I can just imagine fiber optics (or something) replacing all these cables at some point.
Yes. For several of the main areas, we usually will run conduit ( smurf tube ) along with the CAT6 cables for future cabling. Of course, you have to be able to get where the smurf tube goes from point A to B. Not all areas will work to be able to get back to the home run though. We have run behind someone else ( company ) in the past that ran smurf tube and they didn't run it correctly and didn't put a pull string in for crazy bends that they ran. We weren't able to fish it even with the smurf tube in place. So, we would suggest if you put in smurf tube during the prewire, also do a pull string for easy pulling later. Lol Thanks for watching!!
We are almost dried in on our new home and I’m planning to do my pre-wire job. Can you recommend an online source for the materials needed? I’ve already purchased 1K feet of 4-conductor 14 ga speaker wire, but nothing else. I’m loving your videos! I see your based in Edmond, we are in Kansas, OK (a small rural town about 60 mi East of Tulsa).
You would need a good CAT6 cable and possibly CAT6a. Depending on what's available in your area, It also maybe a good idea to run fiber from the DMARK location to where the equipment & internet is going to be. Typically for us, we run it to the main home run equipment rack.
Questions: Are you guys not wiring for shades? Also, why arent you using prewire brackets for the audio zones? I understand you may use any speaker you want to after trimout, but man. Someone is going to be cutting out speaker holes for a LONG time if you dont use brackets. Especially in a tongue and groove ceiling. Great video!
On this particular house, we didn’t get to meet the homeowner unfortunately. The builder didn’t want us to wire for shades. I do agree about the speakers, but if we don’t know which speaker or if for sure they are putting in speakers right off the bat, then we will use these brackets. It is a lot of cutting when we do go back to put in speakers, but we charge them for it. Lol
Typically for weight and the amount of cabling that goes into them. We always place the amps, multi- channel amps and AVR's toward the bottom of a rack and network gear at the top. In the middle section of a rack is normally all the sources for both video and audio, surge protection and control system controllers and camera NVR's. If you have a full rack of equipment, we'll also do intake and outtake fans built into the rack. That way they can pull in fresh air at the bottom and pull the hot air out the top. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the walk through. Great job planning the system for the future. I see in the comments some people have suggested improving the lighting, and you were kind enough to reply to constructive criticism. Not everyone is willing to that without being offended, kudos. P.S. you look like a wrestler. I am guessing a right leg lead based on the cauliflower only on the right ear. Just an observation.
Lol. Thank you. Yep, I wrestled for several years. My ear is still jacked up from it. Can't even wear headphones that go in your ear! lol oh well. We look at our videos all the time trying to improve something so hopefully they are getting better for everyone. Thanks again!
@@GreatChoiceAudioVideo I feel you brother. Got the same problem. Had it drained a few times in college, but it never really helped much. Now earbuds are my nemesis.
If the client hasn’t fully decided which speakers they are doing or if they are over budget and decide not to do speakers when the house is done, then these are really nice. They space off the stud more to make it easier to cut in pretty much any speaker one the drywall is done. If they choose they want to do speakers later, then a blank plate is installed and easily removed later once they decide to add speakers there. It just gives us a better option if someone is totally undecided during the time of the prewire. Hope that helps! Thanks
How do you assign 4 speakers in a line configuration? (2) Left speakers and (2) right speakers? Or combination L/R speakers at each location? Thanks, 😀
We typically use a laser and a measuring tape to make sure everything lines up. We found a really nice bright green laser level on Amazon that works really well for our installs and pre-wire jobs.
@@GreatChoiceAudioVideo My question is on assignment. If there are (4) speakers in a line, (for instance on a long, narrow covered porch) what type of speakers are used? I mean if your standing in the middle 2 left and 2 right speakers makes sense but, if your anywhere else the sound would vary. I am wondering if you and your crew use combination L/R speakers for all 4 speakers in a line, not in a square of diamond configuration. Thanks for the reply!!!! Love the videos!!
We use the deepest electrical box we can find for a 6" wall. THat way no foam gets in and you still have enough room for a coil of wires in the box. If you need, mount a 2 gang box for even more room. Also, companies like Snap One have backboxes specific for behind TV locations where you can prewire for power and low voltage wires. They are usually 14.5" by 14". You can fit a media receiver or Samsung One Connect inside them. They are awesome.
10-12ft ceilings?....No Fiber, Coaxial and Cat6 feed to the Home run room to the Minimum Point Of Entry for where Cable & Phone companies Network Service Interface would be?
We typically run 2- cat6 and 1-2 RG6 feeds from the DMARK to the main equipment location. This is where all the services will come into the house and feed the rack of equipment.
@@GreatChoiceAudioVideo okay but I worked for AT&T for 21yrs as Installation/Repair Cable Maintenance Tech including fiber service and going forward run a Fiber feed to Demark-Mpoe or a 1-1/2 inch flex conduit for fiber with pull string to the Closet-Attic-Basement Panels....oh and try and use Largest Phone/Cable Electric Panel Entry Box as Possible where Utilities come into home with separate weather heads and minimum 1-1/2in inside diameter pipe/conduits
Most of the cabinets we do AV in are custom made. There are a few companies that specialize in cabinets for AV equipment. One of them is Salamander Designs.
We do several different systems. For full home automation, we use ELAN. For house-wide audio with lighting and voice control, we use Josh.ai. For house-wide audio only, We use Sonos, Russound, ELAN or Josh.ai. We usually ask what all different things you want to do in the home and how you want to control it to determine the system that best fits. Thanks for watching!
For the house wide audio speakers, we'll use 16/2 speaker wire. ( depending on the distance ) If it's a fairly large house, we'll only use 14/2 speaker wire. For Home theater and speakers in backyards such as landscape systems, we'll use 14/2 speaker wire. All wire is jacketed and made to run inside walls. No unshielded lamp cord. lol Thanks for watching!!
@@GreatChoiceAudioVideo lol. Yep. I knew it. Love the wrap. We just put in a order for a Y performance. Took your advice and got it in black since we plan on wrapping it. Will either do the desert sand color or matte black. We are also building a home in north Texas and I’m trying to finalize a few things on the low voltage side. Great content over here as well.
@@bigjack79 That's awesome! You'll have to show me your wrap once you get it done. Let me know if you have any design questions for your house. Thanks!
We do use speaker brackets if we already know what type of speaker we are installing when the house is complete. If we don't, then we like to use the speaker single gang boxes. We use the orange one's that have a spacer on them. That way, it's a little further away from the stud when we go to cut out the speaker opening. For the AP's, we do normally put in a single gang box, because the access points we use now can be installed easier and cleaner with the access point bracket that snaps into place. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!
Not that we have found. A good bit of our new houses that we do all have the spray foam. For any outside walls or difficult areas that we may need to access later for future, we’ll also put in smurf tube or Conduit to keep from breaking apart the spray foam after it is done. Thanks for watching!
xXAnchormonXx several Cat6 cables gives you options for audio distribution, video distribution, control, network and maybe a spare if one gets damaged during the building of the home. Hope this helps! Thanks
How will you be redirecting the audio behind the tv using a cat 6 cable to the central audio distribution. Will you use some sort of cat6 to toslink adapter?
eyehear10 what size is the home? Is there a dedicated theater room? If so, how big and is there multi level seating. How many rooms with audio? Patio? Future pool?
It depends on the project. We really like Access Networks by Ruckus for our bigger projects, but have used Ubiquiti and Arakanis as well on the smaller and mid-sized projects. Thanks
@@rzproductions Yes. We have used them with clients existing routers before, but I would recommend probably a better modem / router combo than what the service provider give out.
Poor quality wiring. It’s a mess, none of the wires are even secured in the walls or ceiling spaces. Crazy an inspector would even accept this. What a hack.
