Title of the video: How to Run/Fish Speaker Wire Through Walls and Ceilings
This guy: I’m not going to show you how to run this wire through the ceiling, that’s a whole different video
???
Nice. Let's see that next video on how to wire it back to the rack.
I agree, pretty please
Seriously, I wanted to see how to deal with that giant hole. I’m installing ceiling atmos so I need all the instruction o can get
@@hundohan3280 watch a wall patch “how to”
@@Rewd_Boy more about getting through/around the top plate than patching a hole, dude
wtf is the rack ?
You would never have a rear-ported speaker hugging the wall like that. Lol
He could simply use a whole saw so the port gets the air it needs. Also, use a rubber bushing/grommet on the hole for the wire.
Thought I was going to be the only one who noticed that…
smaller satellite speakers would likely be ok close to the wall. Its larger speakers and subs that would need a couple feet of space ideally.
Just mounting shitty speakers at different height these guys are fucking gong show
Except you can't even cut a round hole fucking disgusting don't do what these guys do
I've watched a few video's. Most seem to be on the easiest part of the installation. Running through a hard ceiling perpendicular to the joists is much more helpful. But haven't seen any videos like that.
I use a cordless drinmel with a 2 inch cutting wheel on it to cut drywall. Don't have to jam the saw in, its shallow, and easier on the body. It makes clean cuts in the paper too.
You should look into a manga puller, I use it to fish wire. I tie a split steel roller ball to some yarn and I can walk it through walls with the magnet.
But I would have made this run without cutting the patch hole up top.
Once I cut the hole for my speaker I send in my endoscope until I get it laid at a good angle on the top stud.
Then I send in my 10 ft flex fiberglass drill bit. I use the endoscope to make sure my drill bit is in a safe place and it has an electronic level in it so I know if it's going straight up and down by looking at the thing on the app.
Once I'm happy with where my flex drill bit is sitting, I attach the drill and carefully drill through the studd. That puts me straight and the upper ceiling between floor joists.
Then I send in my wire snake and use the camera till I managed to line up the hole and get up there and then I just push it while it goes all the way down the ceiling.
This is assuming you're ceiling has strapping....
When the ceiling doesn't have strapping you're kinda screwed...
If the ceiling doesn't have strapping, i cut lots of access holes at the top of walls like the one you did. I make small angled holes for my flex bit driver and then very carefully I drove through every floor joist in as straight line as I can. I'll send my scope up every access hole on both sides to make sure there are no hazards or pipes.
What did I just watch here? I almost called my teenage son over to ask him if it was me or if he ever saw me cut such a humongous hole to fish a wire through! Pretty alarming. I hope people looking for solutions are not actually gonna follow this advice!
the video started very promising but end up turn into a joke?
No doubt I haven’t ever done this and I could’ve figured that out myself!
I’m all of my years of installing I have never seen someone cut the wall before snaking it. I have also never seen a hole cut out at the top to snake wire. You could have just sent from the top down and had one hole covered by an actual wall plate.
Right... I've only seen top down, and never a whole that big the top.
Why would you cut out such a large area near the top ? Now you have a large drywall repair & painting that will be visible.
To allow room for the power drill when drilling through the header
A professional can match the paint with no problem, making it impossible to see that there ever was a hole.
Jersey in da building!!!
I have leftover paint from my living room so patching no problem. This looks like a cheaper option than flatwire. The exterior walls a challenge because of the slope of the roof. No room to reach them from in the attic.
I use Ferrule which is a great invention for stranded wires!.
What's the purpose of the hole being so big at the top, on construction sites I had to cut holes at the top of the wall above the ceiling grid to fish cables down the wall but not as big as that one, I was thinking maybe you did it to fit in a drill to drill through the top plate to fish through the ceiling or attic.
Exactly
The obsession with ‘next, we’ll be showing you how to do X’, instead of just doing it.
US houses don't have nogs (horizontal timbers) between the studs (verticals)?
Very easy to run wires through an empty space but what hold the wall together??
Really where was the ceiling part?
this video was not too helpful :(
How about the whole u made on top
Ported speakers cannot be installed where you block the port…
Was thinking the same, it was ported.
Just put the port directly against the wall. No biggie.
@@mookiemcdermot Do you understand why the port is there? If you block the airflow, the unit will not be tuned as designed.
@@wicked400ex Yeah. I was being sarcastic.
I totally agree! This is the precise reason why I made arm extensions on my height speakers

10-to-1 this guy’s been electrocuted before and since. 🥴
Lol
No to speaker against wall... no to huge hole at top
Yeah there may be a big hole up top…but what most dont realize is hard ceiling is a total different game then drop ceiling. Sometimes a big hole is all that you can do to keep moving. Thats when you patch. The only real chance to avoid cutting is either attic or crawl space, or set conduit. Which isn’t always available
They sell cover plates that go over holes in the wall for speaker wire or TV CABLE clean pro look great info tho thank you
There has to be a better way than this. Like craw in the attic, drill the top plate and fish the wire down from the attic.
my thoughts exactly...I recently ran cat 6 through my house...get into attic and drop wire from there.....no patch up on dry wall required
Yup just cut 3-4 feet of drywall out and it should be fairly easy. Honestly was wondering if this was a joke or not
Way better than most of the other attempts for this topic.
What a bummer. I wanted to see the CEILING wire install. Where's that video?
i honestly thought when my wifee asked me whats that huge hole hes making now. i thought you were making a firefighter slide down poll or staiirway to a mancave bud hahahA
Jose and the Wire Ninjas showing why they are still the best in the business
Was waiting for the celing part..
It's too bad there's not like a recessed small outlet that could be placed in the hole just to make it look perfect.
I was watching the video just to see what he was going to do with the big hole on the top.
The cameraman shouldn't block your light on the terminals without camera lights. It makes it harder for you to work and for the viewer to see what you're doing. Otherwise, the video is full of good info (which I know), but others may not 8-).
cut two holes, push wire up 4 feet. got it.
so why are these wall mounted? there is a port on the back ...........
So no ceiling fishing… huh.
I have 1 word for you , get inwall speakers !
That's 4 words.
What gauge wire was used?
Either 13 or 14
I didn't see one thing done correctly
Waste of time.
This is ridiculous. Now you need a huge patch at the top. How about fishing the wire through the ceiling?
AND ADDING A HALF INCH OR QUORTER INCH INSIDE THE HOLE IS NOT A BIG DEAL FOR YOU ..BUT ASK YOUR WIFE WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT THAT LOL
This is about how you do it. A bit of instruction would be clever, especially cutting above a live switch. Very poor, you could cause fatal trouble for a novice DIYer.
"or a housewife"
That's not how you wire a speaker, that's how you wire a speaker to nowhere through 2 holes in the wall that are only a few feet apart
why are all the house in the US made of paper mache.. non of this works in asia
I guess that port is absolutely useless now, huh?
WTF? I came here for something he never showed
I’m DIYer but That’s a big hole just to run wire. Don’t hire this guy
How else do you do it?
🤣
YOU SHOW PRETTY MUCH NOTHING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF INSTALLATION THERE'S VERY LITTLE INFORMATION BUT YOU CAN USE THIS VIDEO TO SHOW MORE LIKE FROM THE RECEIVER TO THE SPEAKER WIRING !FYI.
Why would you stop the video there? That was a waste of everyone’s time. Like we all want to know how to do the next part that’s the only reason anyone clicked on your video? Wtf
Eww overall
