Default Studs

Interior walls have metal studs with 24" spacing. When we had our 52" installed in the living room they placed wood 2x4s next to the metal studs to give the wall more strength. They snaked the wires through the attic to a front closet where we keep the cable box, DVD, etc. More expensive, but no clutter.

Audio Video Authority 352 516-7900


tilt mount $150
IR kit $150
HDML 30ft run/component/cat 5 $400 (more than 30' requires another component)
misc parts $30
recessed outlet behind TV $100
duplex outlet in closet $75

The last 2 items were done by a second guy, an electrician, who also helped with TV install, which is a 2 man job to hold that heavy sucker up while attaching to the wall mount.

Their work quality was excellent.
