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.

In the middle of wiring my new house! Thank you for these videos! Have ran 27 cat 6 drops already!

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.

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.

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!

Greetings, what OS system do you recommend for a home similar to this? Also, what cable did you use for the cameras? Thank you.

What kind of cabinets would you recommend for Audio visual under the TV?

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!

What type of box do you use on exterior walls when the builder is going to be using spray foam?

Cool video. Curious as to the choice of why amps on the bottom of they generate the most heat and heat rises?

We get excited about media room $$$$$$$$$ i bet

so you use cat6 for the internet and cameras but what kind of wire do you use for the speakers?

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).

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.

Why did you use a single gang box for cieling speakers in the living room? What type of speakers are getting installed?

What type of whole home audio do y’all use....great video

Curious, what’s the reason on having multiple cat 6 cables behind a tv? Is it to connect to a game console or something like that along with the tv?

to bad the framers didn't put some supports where the TV's are going to go

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, 😀

How many feet of cat6 wires u use throughout the house total

How much would an installation of this size typically go for?

Is there ever a problem when using closed cell spray foam over cat 6?

What access points are you using??

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?

Can u show the after?

Do you have a Tesla channel? Voice sounds extremely familiar

How come you use single gang boxes for the speakers rather than pre construction speaker brackets? Do u use any boxes for the AP locations?

This is a man's home. Theater plus Game room screams masculinity.

who puts speakers in a utility room? yikes

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.

"AMAZING" with no conduit of any kind? Nah

Typical uninformed yuppie client putting all the money into electronics and zero thought into acoustics and sound control. Single 2x6 construction on the home theater partition wall? And rectilinear rooms? Seriously, you guys? You could have EASILY staggered the studs on those partitions.🤦‍♂️
