Cool Wall connectors

Hi

Wondered if any one can help me.

I am installing my home cinema system and hiding all cables under
floorboards before we lay flooring. I have found speaker and phono boxes
that sit in the walls like plugs, and allow me to plug the speakers etc into
them. I am having problems finding anything that would allow me to have
s-video leads coming up through the wall.

Does anybody know of any wall plug or similar that would allow this

Thanks

LetsAutomate.com have some surface mount boxes that sound about right.

Avoid wall box connections if you can. Adding extra joins to the cable run just degrades the picture/sound quality.

You'd be better off just running the cables out of the walls straight into your speakers/equipment.
