Bar Build 036
Posted: July 26, 2010 | Author: O'Shea Shenanigans | Filed under: Bar Build | Tags: bananna plugs, monoprice.com, polk audio, recessed media box. |4 CommentsToday, Laurie gave me the green light to purchase some more electronics for the bar. I am hoping by ordering them this morning, they will get here this week while I have the house to myself and have some time to install all this great stuff.
These Polk Audio 55 All-Weather speakers will be mounted under the deck and be hooked into the touchscreen jukebox.
I also will be installing a volume control knob on the deck to adjust the volume without having to go back downstairs into the bar because I am lazy like that.
Next is the Recessed Media Box from Monoprice.com. This will go behind the TV and chances are no one will see it, but I will. I like the cables to look nice and tidy, not a big distressed mess. So with this, the cables pass through the rubber part and into the wall.
I also grabbed some bannana style plugs to make connecting speakers that much easier and to make sure none of the signal is lost through a shitty connection.
Finally, I bought plates for the speaker wire and cable pass throughs.
When all is said and done, the inside of the media closet should look something like this:
So most of the progress done to the bar this week will go unseen by mostlty everyone. But does not matter, as these things need to be done for a nice and neat cable management and easier expansion in the future.
Stay tuned as I will post pictures of the installation and progress.
Seems like you are jazzed about this. Most of the terminology is foreign to me, but sounds like this bar is going to be THE happening place in NY 🙂

I am just hoping it wil be THE happening place on my block. I have great neighbors and love hanging out with them and this is a way to bring us together. Plus, it helps cut down on the travel for family gatherings since they will all be here! 🙂 Method to the Madness.
