What is a general home theater wiring specification for a "wired for surround home" ?
HI
I am living in a house which is "wired for surround sound" I know that the family room and the game room is "self-sufficiently" wired from wall console to 4 surround locations. I am not sure how the 2-speaker connections in 4 rooms end up in a "whole house" 4 channel console in my washer room.
Is there a typical "wiring diagram" for a "wired for surround sound" home ?
I am going to dig through the wires and connections but wanted to check if anyone knew anything...
I would suggest you use the existing wires for an intercom or an alarm system, and have the 'Home Theater Room' in your house professionally wired for real surround sound. Ask the installer to upgrade the wires for large monitors (speakers). This will be a much larger diameter wire. Tell the installer to install 'banana plug' style speaker jacks for your floor mounted and/or wall mounted speakers. If you want the wiring to be kind of future-resistant, have two sets of jacks in the front and rear, and a front and rear center channel jack installed.
Now we have 5.1. Later we may have 6.1, 7.1, 10.2, etc. If you want the room completely uncluttered from wires, have a couple of sub-woofer jacks installed also.
