It's relatively easy to install but before clicking "Add to Cart"
Received and installed my conduit box yesterday. It's relatively easy to install but before clicking "Add to Cart", take note: - Invest in a stud finder. You NEED space around the holes for the locking brackets to rotate inside the drywall. If you cut the hole next to a stud or fireblock, it won't lock in place. - FIREBLOCKS! These are horizontal pieces between studs. Since you are probably hoisting your TV up on the wall so there is a very good chance you are going to run into one trying to push your cables down the wall. Unless you know where they are, you will be quite miffed when you cut two big holes in your wall and then realize you have to cut another one just to route your cables through the wall. I didn't have this problem (I had photos of my house when it was being built) but I can easily see how some people will get stuck dealing with this problem. In my photo, you can see where I positioned my box which is directly UNDER a fireblock. - The templates are good but I found it difficult to install the bottom box within the lines provided. It took me a while to shave drywall until the box pushed in without force. - As some have mentioned, don't forget to push your electrical wire THROUGH the small, white box before pressing them into the connectors. Ooops. Due to my mistake, I sanded a small hole off the bottom so the main wire could fit without allowing the other wires to pull out. Easy fix. - I ran an extra pull line in the box for additional HDMI cables in the future but I now agree with others that you should just go ahead and buy a second 9-10' HDMI cable and run it at the same time. The position of the holes to run the HDMI cables will make it difficult to 'pull' wires through in the future. I don't expect a need for a second line...but if I do, I'll probably have to pull the boxes out of the wall to run the second. - And the GOOD news: With the boxes in place and the power cables zip-tied, the TV looks great on the wall. No cables visible from the side and it looks professional. Wife is happy with the results (and glad I didn't hurt myself). This is a good product but you need to plan ahead before cutting holes. Check your wall studs and fireblocks. Make sure you have room around the holes (inside) for the locking clips.
