This is a job I did where the gear lived in a unfinished part of a very old house basement. These pic's where taken before the job was finished but you get the Idea. I did all the work in these pic's.

    Excellent work Mantis. If your ever in my area, stop by and work some magic on my setup. I was going to give you a hard time, but I decided to give you the ole' swift kick in the buttocks, and a pat on the back. Excellent work my friend.

    A few questions though, what does the rest of the gear include? Dedicated theater/screen?

    Thanks man , this gear is a whole house control system by Control 4. All those things on the left side are Matrix switches and Amps , all Digital 16 channels each with 120 watts of pure **** kicking watts of power.
    There is only one surround room in this system and 4 system tv's with 28 zones of music. We control the lighting , HVAC and doorbell. System is controlled with Ipod touch , Ipads and a few Iphones.
    I have a shot of the surround TV with a surround bar , Ipad , it's cool looking.
    The black box is a custom in cabinet James Subwoofer with a Toe kick underneath the cabinet. It puts pressure into the room. Amp lives in the racks in the basement. TV is a Samsung 3D LED 65 inch with a Definitive Surroundbar SSA50. I didn't take a pic of the rears which live in the ceiling and are Def Tech's as well. The sub sounds fantastic.

    28 zones of music .....amazing . Very nice looking , neat wire management( 28 zones must be about 20 miles of wires ).

    Great work.

    Nice work Dan,I can't imagine fishing all that wire through a 100 year old structure...looks like a new 200 amp. panel to power it all.

    Nice wire job. Gotta like buying bulk cable and then terminating to exact/custom length.

    How much cable did you end up installing?

    Eh, nice to see mantis work. :cool: Rack mount is not the most appealing for home use but definitely great professional install. I prefer having my gear visble so I want to modify my rack mount with nice wood panels to make it more appealing and at the same time have the proffesional set-up that rack mount provides.

    Go ahead, pull your gear out and start over again, that is part of the game of this fine hobby! ;) Then show us pics of some you can be proud of! ;)

    I just re-did my rack last week and there is NO WAY I can do it any better. But its not as good as Mantis's installs :cry:
