I like the idea of also having a plate behind the tv with hdmi and component, but I'm not sure I'd beable to feed them throught a 35mm conduit, for example the hdmi connector is quite wide, would that fit down a 35 mm conduit, and then surely they'd be no room left for the three component connectors.....

But why would you want to use RCA plugs when there are proper speaker wallplates? Re: Pre Laying Cabling Questions for Theatre 9Sep 23, 2008 2:03 pm probably because I don't have a clue what I'm doing
So would using a wallplate which excepts a banana plug be better than a wallplate that excepts an RCA connection? Although its all new to me, I'd like to learn how to do it all. The wallplates I have left over from bunnings are just rca red and black connections. And at the back of the plates I have to solder the spreaker wire to attach. Would be good if there was a good quality way to attach without soldering aswell. Thats more of a pain to do on site Lloyd Re: Pre Laying Cabling Questions for Theatre 10Sep 23, 2008 4:03 pm These are the go:

How important is the quality of these connections also the quality of the speaker cable? The room dimensions are about 5 by 4 metres. Not sure how good the speaker cable I have is, I was given it, the reel says High Performance Figure 8 O.F.C Speaker Cable, 60/0.12mm W-2013 I was intending to run this stuff through the walls and also make the leads from amp to wall and wall to speakers out of it. Is this good enough? I don't want to destroy the quality of the sound especially if I find a really nice speaker setup Lloyd Re: Pre Laying Cabling Questions for Theatre 12Sep 23, 2008 7:55 pm lloydmav Not sure how good the speaker cable I have is, I was given it, the reel says High Performance Figure 8 O.F.C Speaker Cable, 60/0.12mm W-2013 I was intending to run this stuff through the walls and also make the leads from amp to wall and wall to speakers out of it.
