Any suggestions on how to get the wires under control, whether it be tubing or ties or anything else? I have a 7.1 system with 12 gauge wire all around, also the fronts and center are bi-wired. It is a colossal mess! Thanks
Receiver = Denon AVR-3803
DVD = Denon DV-2900
Fronts = SDA SRS 2.3TL's
(Carver m1.5t)
Center = CSi40
Side surrounds = Fxi30's
Sony 12" sub
TV = Hitachi 57F500

Bedroom rig:
Pioneer SX-1050 receiver
Rti38's

    For wire management a lot of folks put "similar" type of wires together and use tie wraps for management. Power, interconnects, and speaker wires should be seperated as best as possible and then tie wrapped together.

    TonyPTX has some pics here:

    Also check out Frank Z's rig as he has posted some wire management pics of his rig as well. Do a search for "wire management".

    p.s. don't feel alone... I'm still working on my wire management as well. About 50% done...

    ACDDS - I use these, and they work great.

    They are pricey, but you get the idea. The place sells other kinds of velcro straps.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
