So I had an ugly arch over my fireplace where I would like my TV to be. I also wanted to have some speakers and other audio equipment wired and installed. First step, drink some cocktails and get out the saws!

Next step... Have the electrician install an outlet and a couple LED cans.

Next I had the audio guys come out and wire everything from my laundry room to the back of my TV. All my components will be in laundry room and out of sight. I didn't get pics but we had holes everywhere in the drywall. They also install 8inch speakers in the ceiling for my rears.

Drywall guys came and made everything look good again. Hard to see but I also painted the gold trim on the fireplace an oil rubbed bronze color.

A little paint and the audio guys came to wire everything and install. I went with a Sonos soundbar and sub, then added a Sonos amp to power the rears.

Crap...now my TV looks too small up there but it will have to do for now. Im finishing painting all the trim tonight. Overall Im pretty happy with it but Im not too impressed with the Sonos soundbar. The rears they installed sound WAY better than the soundbar. Its not very bright sounding. Love the Sonos app though and its great to control it all from my phone.

Who did you use for audio wiring? I can hire someone or do it myself. Might get done faster if I hire someone [emoji12]

I used a local guy here in Phoenix. They actually run cat 6 and then use box at either end so u can plug in HDMI, coax or what ever into the box.

They can go either way. Doesn't matter here because the TV covers it. There is a junction box under the plate also so it would be pretty tight the other way.
