Hi
I have an armoire to hold the receiver/dvd player/vcr player/center speaker/modem for the cable and a wireless router . (the new TV I bought doesn't fit inside the armoire.)darn. I am trying to do 2 things:
1 . Make the armoire work to house the component with TV OUTSIDE of the armoire ( some of the cords/cables are too short to have them very far away from the tv) and
2. configure the speakers for surround sound on the walls in other areas of the room.
A "certified electrician" that I hired to run the speaker wire into the wall ran 1 SINGLE length of speaker wire, NOT the wires that came with the surround sound set. ( I am not speaking to him again as he will just charge me more money for an already crappy job) so I don't even know how to re-run the correct wires to get the speaker in place on the wall.someone suggested I could "fish" them down the existing holes, but they just get caught on something inside the wall and won't go any further.
I want the armoire to be NEXT to the TV as it is easiest to connect everything... but I can't get everything close enough to the TV to connect as the connection cords are too short.
Also, does anyone have a brilliant idea as to how to hid all these massive globs of cable and cords? Or at least make it look neater?
A diagram would be helpful if possible
ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE APPRECIATED as I am at a loss as to how to even being
Thank you
