So I just mounted a tv on my wall, but there are wires running everywhere from my cable box, xbox, and sound bar. What is the best way to hide all these damn wires?

TIA.

Depends on where they are plugged in. I just tap holes in sheet rock and run it behind there

They have in wall boxes at home depot or the amazon.

It is worth the extra work.

What type of wall? What's on the other side of the wall?

I bought a piece of channel molding from lowes or hd that is made for just such situation. it covers a half dozen wires and is just not noticeable at all...I'll try to find a link to it.

A fireplace...

That's why it's kinda F'd. I'm new to this and am not sure if I can start creating a bunch of holes to make this look better. The wires are driving me mad though.

For my bedroom I bought a plastic channel piece from Amazon. I painted it with extra wall paint I had and nailed it in with a couple small nails. For the living room I just used a hole saw drill attachment an snaked the wires using a fish tape.

Do you have access to a scope camera and wall fish equipment?

here ya go...believe me, it makes for a very neat, clean-looking installation. no reason why you can't paint it to match your wall color, too...

Place the cable box, xbox, and sound bar on top of or in close proximity of one another & zip - tie the cables together...
