  My HT room is on the first floor of the house. I ran PVC conduit from the wall behind the TV, underneath the floor, and coming out at each rear side wall where the rear surrounds go. This allows extreme flexibility for changing wires, etc. The ends of each duct are finished off with a solid faceplate with a hole drilled in the middle for the wire.

    This is such a great idea. I'm now thinking of changing the wire to my sorrounds since I've seen signs of corrosion in the wire. If I had done what you are suggesting this would be a piece of cake.

  There is some useful reading material, (downloadable Adobe files), on www.crutchfield.com about HT wiring.

  Like you, I installed seperate 120AC breakers and feeds to the audio and video equipment. It is a good idea to run a minimum of three dedicated circuits. One for the video, (big screen, projector, etc), a second for the audio gear, (receiver, amp, etc), and third for the subwoofer. This way you will minimize any chance of ground loops between all the gear causing picture issue, or ground hum in a subwoofer.

  Good luck.

    Thanks. Jim. I will tell my electrician to make the three dedicated circuits. I visited Crutchfield, thanks for that tip, too.
