A small tip before cutting out the square. Put in a small screw to help pull out the square when finished cutting

[fettyguapo]

Before you cut the square out you can screw a dry wall nail in the center so when you finish cutting it you can simply grab it so it won’t fall down

Great video. A couple of things I might suggest. Ensure that your cables are long enough given that they will be taking a longer route to their connections. It didn't look like you had a lot of play with your cables when finished. Also, label your connections before dropping them down - you'll get your connections right the first time. Thanks for this.

i was excited then i remembered that my wall is made of red bricks

Before cutting in the first hole, run the stud finder up and down to confirm there is no fire block. Common on exterior walls. Nothing worst than finding out you have a board which runs horizontally between the studs blocking your cables from getting to the lower box.

Running the power cable through the wall more than likely violates electrical code in your state/city. Thing with that is insurance policies do not pay out on claims where electrical codes are violated. High voltage wires are required to be sheathed in romex if they are behind a wall. They make kits for $30-$40 that are essentially extension cords in romex that go into the wall by the original outlet and terminate in a new outlet behind the tv. Lowes and Home Depot both sell these kits. Do yourself a favor and wire it the right way. We all know insurance companies will deny a claim if they can find a reason, don't give them a reason.

Looks great! I HATE exposed wires! HATE them! I find videos like this therapeutic.

I did this during the build of my basement in Brampton, ON. Pretty simple and super clean. And at the end if you end up moving your setup easy enough to patch.

Nice job dude.

Properly built stud walls also have noggins (transverse pieces between the studs) that would prevent this from working. Check for timbers running parallel to the floor between the entry and exit holes before you start tearing your wall up.

Dang, I came here looking for something that wouldn't get me evicted.

[gilltalltheway]

Found myself procrastinating to do this with all the unnecessary info in other videos. Grateful I came across them but even more grateful for finding you. Thank you! 🙏 I’m gonna do it now! Hell yeah.

The "low voltage cover plate" is intended to run low voltage AV cables only. If you also snake the television's power cord through the wall to reach an outlet, your installation is against code. A resulting fire will void your home insurance policy.

[BWItoATXF]

Nothing against your install technique - because it is good.

However, everyone should consider code requirements for running AC cables behind walls. This is great for signal wire, but typically against code for power. They have kits a little more expensive that can be up to code to run power. Something to consider for safety and insurance sake. Cheers!

Edit: completely overlooked the pinned comment lolol

[Red_Fox]

I am not gonna be able to do this as the walls in house are made out of solid material and cement but it is a good video with a nice idea 👍 a definite subscribe

[microsnook]

I love how you implemented the comment suggestions in your future video about hiding wires. I saw the kit and am going to do it that way! Cheers

[TheShagans]

Forgot to mention some may have a horizontal beam to deal with. So prior to cutting a hole in your wall, should probably see if you're able to drop down the wires with no obstructions first.

[MuseLeathercraft]

Thanks! Short and sweet. Well explained WITHOUT all the “blathering” that usually infests DIY videos. So thanks for that :-) G

1 more additional information for adding future wires, if needed. Add a thin rope along with the wires about thrice the length of the distance so you can tie a wire and pull out easily in future.
