I bought a new condominium and I would like to install all the cables inside the wall. I'm also planning to do the inside speakers.would like to know what are my options for a wall plate that include audio and video. I would like to have a wall plate that include at least 2 hdmi cable, 1 composite, 6 speakers input and 1 for the sub. If you have any other tips, I will appreciate, Thanks for your help

Google "home theater wall plate" and view the shopping options that come up...lots of choices. Not sure if monoprice.com has what you need, but many people on this forum use their parts a lot.
What should I do with the my Plasma's power cable.

Check out the plate I installed in my build thread. I purchased it from Data-Pro. You can design a plate for just about any application you need. Mine includes 2 USB, VGA, composite audio, component video, and ethernet.
As far as power - can you install a new box above an existing box and just fish the wires up the wall to give you a higher outlet for the plasma's power?

Just be careful not to make openings in a common or shared wall as condominium boards have pretty strict rules about that kind of thing

I used a Powerbridge (http://www.powerbridgesolution.com/avsspecialorder.html) for the power wiring inside the wall and a seperate wall plate pass through for my HDMI cable.
Thanks, about Just be careful not to make openings in a common or shared wall as condominium boards have pretty strict rules about that kind of thing The owner have cables already inside the wall, but not the way I want it.
Anybody has experience running speakers wire inside the wall?
What I'm going to do is; I'm going to order a custom plate with 2 HDMI, 1 composite and 1 VGA then I'm going to order 1 for my 6.1 surround sound. Do you guys think that it is going to over crowder with too many wall plate. How do I install all this wall plate, do I boy like an electrical box or just cut the drywall?
