    Hi There.

    I want to have this as neat as possible , i.e. hide all wires etc. Any ideas how i can mount dvd player and subwoofer and hiding all wires at the same time. I dont want a big unit or anything as our table isnt far from this wall.

    All help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Bigger pictures would help, it is hard to see what is going on in the pics you posted.

    The main option is to chase the wall and bury the cable in it.
    Alternativly, if you could source a nice brushed aluminium hollow pipe, you could run the cable through it, and it would look like the TV is sitting on it!

    Well the sub quite honestly would be best on the floor.
    You would need to bury the cables or use a fancy trunking like prospect said.
    If you wanted your DVD player mounted, you could go for the floating glass shelf look, where the DVD looks like its floating.

    if the sub isn't on the floor you're losing most of the effect. it needs the floor to transmit the low freq waves.

    If you are good at DIY you have another option...

    Before I go on, I do agree with mossym.

    But if you must have the woofer off the floor you could:

    Fit two strong vertical batons to the wall. (If this is a dry-lined wall fix tme too the batons in the wall).
    Then fix a large sheet of timber that is wider than the batons.
    Paint the timber a matt black.
    Run all your cables behind the timber, between the batons, and mount the TV to it.
    Then below the TV, you cound fit one or two mat black shelves and seat your DVD, Decoder, Woofer on them.

    See my crappy graphic.
