So...even more weird...I just found some more speaker wire in a linen closet on the other side of the guest room closet. There's six pairs in here. There's also an electrical outlet. Looks like I found my power source. It also seems that the guest room is wired for in ceiling speakers.

No, that's just the build quality of this house, lmao. Seriously though, I do have a feeling that they only used staples before going down into the wall and in the few spots they didn't use gang boxes. You can see in that picture above, where the black coax dips down, that they did use a few...

My friend and I spent a good amount of time up in the attic. We found the hole where the intercom wiring comes through. It looks like we could easily drill our own hole and drop down to the first floor. On another note, the wiring up there is a mess, it's amazing any of our electronics work. It...

It's a decent sized closet 3-4ft deep and about 8ft wide (going from memory). I could easily fit a structured wiring panel in the wall and have an equipment rack in there too. I'm waiting for my friend to come by so that we can see how easily we can wires to the attic.

Thanks for your feedback. No the garage is not a basement. I did some thinking regarding Neurorad's advice. I found that the guest room closet backs up to an open space that I believe runs to the attic. I'll check this later tonight if I can. Our '90s era intercom is on the other side so I...

Haha. Yeah, and I really appreciate your help and suggestions. I was just hoping for some other people's experiences too. I was hoping to put it in the garage so that it would be close to the phone/cable TV. You really think I should put it in the house?

Hey all, I signed up here a while ago after seeing IVB's posts over on AVS Forum. I posted my questions there, but didn't receive as much feedback as I had hoped for. I'm looking to wire my house with Cat6 as Wireless N isn't cutting it. My house is a two story with a slab foundation. I'm...

No problem. Oh and be carefull with updates, they usually wipe out your settings so make sure you keep a copy of anything you use or modify.

Hey Guys, I actually just signed up here to reply to this. I have an AppleTV and I can tell you that it is very flexible if you are willing to "hack" it. There's not much really involved with that. You just need to load some software on to a USB stick (which creates a "patchstick") and plug it...
