For those who haven't seen what i ave ahead of me:
My closet
1) if you were tying a lot of stuff onto a single feed (aux / saux powering a bunch of devices with a lot of wires (4 or more)), what would you use? punch blocks/wirenuts?
2) if you could reuse your existing enclosures elsewhere and could close up the studs and move to a plywood base, would you mount the ethernet/coax distribution and devices on plywood instead of in a panel? (in my pics, i could move the large panel to the office, and the 28"er to where the Elk M1 14" can is - consolidating all the local elk expanders there.
3) for whole house audio, would you board mount the IR distribution or put it in a can?
4) if you moved to board mount, how would you get into the ceiling cleanly without big holes? conduit or is there something better?
5) if some of your closet was board and some panel, how do you best deal with coming out of the panel clealy to deviced on the board (thinking from the elk box - serial/ethernet/rs-485/etc). Namely thinking the ELK-M1XRF2G or the serial output to a UPB plugin device, etc... would also apply to speakers. maybe a plank plate and drill a hole the required diameter?
any other tips would be appreciated ( i keep looking for more examples of installs)!
