New member Username: CanyouhelpmepleasePost Number: 2 Registered: Sep-08 | Hi , Im new here in need of some serious help. Ok Im not here to brag or anything like it just looking to try and do it myself. Ok with that said , I just had my house built, I had a professional company come in and run all my audio/video wiring, However with the economy the way it is they went Bankrupt leaving me a house of wires in my basement and in 1st floor closet and out ALOT of money. Now i dont really want to spend more but I have to . I am willing to hire another company but I think Id rather try and take on this project myself. I have some basic knowledge mostly as a teen with car audio and some basic home audio knowledge, However this knowledge is outdated with new technology. Ok heres what I have , Roughly 30 Polk Audio in wall/cieling mount speakers throughout my house inside/outside. And 1 sub in family room in wall. With 6 in wall volume controls. And thats it..... Now what id like to know is how to hook it all up , All the wires are going into the basement , The wires are some blue CAT 5 and some YellowCAT 5 not sure if there is a diffrence in colors?? or why yellow and Blue? To try to make this a little easier on you and me , I would like if you could explain what i will need, And what each peice does , as well as post a link to each peice of equipment . Now the explaination doesnt have to be detailed just a simple explaination , I will read about it and come back and ask any questions I may have , This will save anyone who can help with thier time. Now I know this isnt going to be cheap , I dont mind ,Im willing to spend some money, I just want it right if i am going to do this . Im kinda looking for a reciever Onyko, Marantz, Yamaha or something that is of very nice Qaulity Say in the 600-1000 range possibly more. I dont see the point in overkill say 3000 dollars for a reciever. Im not sure if the Rec would have to have HDMI outputs or not?? Since this isnt your average hook up. Im looking at a Integra with 3 zones, But not sure how exactly the zones work??/ Id like to be able to zone the audio say for outside , Family Room , Master bedroom, And maybe another area. I also have 7 TVs that would need hooked up as well , Id like to get surround out of all of them. Any other things i would need to know please fell free to comment. Hey Thanks Guys for any type of help or links you can Provide |
