How to Hide your TV Wires The FAST WAY! DIY In-wall power cord and cable installation!
This should be a QUICK ONE! My 2nd, Livingroom project, is to hide my unsightly wires hanging from my TV!
Check out my 6 min installation video!
I did some research and I went for simplicity and speed of installation! I chose the Legrand-Wiremold CMK70 Flat Screen TV Cord and Cable Power Kit.
This kit came with a hole saw, and fish tape that I can reuse later on! It is much simpler to cut a round hole then to fiddle with a drywall knife and make sure you have level rectangular cuts!
I think the round box is the FASTEST way to do an in-wall installation!

Polk Speaker Disassembly and Tweeter Replacement – DIY or buy Consumer Grade Speakers?
It has been super busy the last few weeks so I did not have much time for DIY. However I did put together this quick video showing the speaker disassembly and tweeter replacement of the Polk CSi A6 Center Channel Speaker. It is a lot of speaker for $150 new, but I was lucky enough to get it very cheap used, BUT the tweeter was blown! 😒
Was it worth it replacing the tweeter? Is it worth buying this center channel new, or should I spend $150 on a DIY kit?
Replacing the tweeter or woofers is easy, as you can see in the video, all you need is a set of Hex Keys and the replacement drivers.
