Wiring Considerations during the Design Process
Robert: this has been an absolute gem of a series, especially for someone like me who is trying to design either a ground up system, but preferably, a "modification" to an existing entertainment wall system. What I mean by a "modification" is finding the best way to accommodate a wider screen tv in the space taken by a cabinet (central armoire) that is limited to 36" width. I plan to share some specific ideas in Sketchup form when I get them finalized and worthy of posting.
For now, however, I wonder if you could comment about the whole area of designing for ease of wiring and component hookup. I started a similar thread over in the general area, but it seems your comments (and ideas from others) here would round out this design principles discussion.
Short of the ideal to put the entertainment center against a wall which has access from the back, how do you do it if your entertainment center is going to be placed so that front access only is possible? I am especially interested in the aspect of component hookup (slide out drawers, wide enough to rotate components 90 degrees while still hooked up, etc).
Can you please comment on how you have handled this aspect of entertainment center design and execution.
Thanks for sharing your expertise,
Ken
