Planning your Dream System makes all the difference
A home entertainment system is made up of several components which must be selected for compatibility, your personal preference and budget considerations.
Video Services Understand where your video service will come from in order to have the proper signal cable installed. A Dish TV Service will require specific cabling for high-definition video viewing.
Audio System Music and Audio may be played from a variety of devices including Audio Video Receiver, DVD/MP3 Player, Stereo Receiver, iPod or even a Karaoke system. Cabling must match each device and interface to each other.
Speaker System The selection of the Speaker System will need to match the Audio System and the placement of the speakers in your room will require the right wires to be installed.
Computer Games Game devices require a location that will enable easy access to the video and audio components for easy connections.
Power Outlets Electrical outlets will need to be provided to the main component cabinet or location. It is advisable to install a voltage filter and surge protecting plug strip to protect your equipment.
Lighting and Switches

Your system is not complete until you add the right kind of lighting which sets the mood while providing functionality. Flush Lights provide a variety of options which can be controlled with wall mounted or remote dimmer switch controls.

Electrical Tips to Help You Wire it Right

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!

The Non-Contact Electrical Tester
This is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.

The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!

The Plug-In Outlet Tester
This is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring.
It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect Very handy and easy to use.

Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!

The Wire Stripper and Wire Cutter
My absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires.
This handy tool has multiple uses:
The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation.
The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets..

The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use.
