A year after our youngest child went off to college, my wife and I agreed to treat ourselves. Her present was converting the spare bedroom into a scrapbooking room that doubles every other Friday as a game room, where she and her friends play ‘Bunko’. My gift was turning an unused room in the basement into a ‘man cave’. To be honest, the bedroom into the scrapbooking room was pretty easy. My man cave, on the other hand, was quite a project. I am, most decidedly, an audiophile. I knew that when I began this project, I wanted an awesome surround sound system. Because I have a good ear, and some experience with electronics, I decided to tackle this project myself. I also had another goal of wanting my sound system to seamlessly integrate with the overall design of the room. This meant making the speakers and wires as inconspicuous as possible. To start this process, I found in wall speaker wire at the website http://ginelectronics.com/speaker-wire.
Because I had previous experience with wiring, I knew that my best choice for in wall speaker wire would be dual conductor wire. I planned the locations of my speakers, receivers, and other audio equipment, and I worked with a cabinet maker to fabricate built ins that would facilitate the integrated design that I desired. I picked special sound buffering material for floor and wall insulation. When my speaker wire arrived from http://ginelectronics.com/speaker-wire, I was ready to put the man cave audio system together. It took a lot of hard work, and help from some very good friends (who were compensated in steaks), but eventually the man cave was ready.
During the design and construction process, many of my friends were motivated to begin some of their own audio visual projects in their own homes. One friend had a workshop. He wanted to run some basic audio cable to connect his workshop to the stereo system in his living room. Because he has a toddle, moreover, he wanted to make the wiring as out of reach as possible. I told him about the website http://ginelectronics.com/speaker-wire and he was able to find exactly what he wanted. My friend is now able to enjoy music in his workshop while he works on his many projects.
Now back to my man cave! It’s really been a great place for my friends and me to get together. Between football season, and some great live streamed concerts, this space has become the social hub of the neighborhood. I truly believe that planning and designing the audio system, the placement of the audio cable, and ordering that cable from http://ginelectronics.com/speaker-wire had major roles in the success of my project. This site will have my enthusiastic recommendation for anyone contemplating projects which require the purchase and installation of audio wire.
Of course, I also enjoy the quiet moments in the man cave where I can relax and enjoy the high quality audio system that I have been able to create. I suppose I’ll cherish those moments while I can. Sometimes, I even look over the man cave and wonder how the grandchildren will use this space.
