Speaker Conduit

[cewolcott]

I am finishing the basement and have built an equipment closet (12' x 4') behind the the wall that will hold the LCD and in-wall speakers. Curious as to thoughts about how to wire the wall so that it would be easy to change speakers wires in the future. I was planning to have an access panel behind the LCD in the closet and put PVC conduits to the left and right through the studs to get to the LC265i (which will be in performance enclosers) and a conduit up to the center speaker. The other option is the run the speaker wires along a rail in the closet and have access panels behind each of the three speakers and the LCD. Thoughts?

PVC is a great idea. I would try and use 2 - 45's at each corner rather than 1 - 90 if you can get away with it. Will make pulling cable a little easier on you. Make sure as you are putting it together, you string a wire through it for your initial pull. Will make your first run much easier, Then just cut the wire and leave it in the tube. that way you can double run if you choose to later.

You can get flexible conduit at home depot- it's bright blue and comes in a few different sizes. Should work great for you.
