This kit is well designed and of good quality. Of all the options to help with hiding wires when hanging a TV and soundbar on the wall, this one is top notch. The soundbar power box is really the thing that sets this apart from other solutions, in my opinion. Of course, the PowerBridge folks have those clever plugs that couple the wiring together between boxes and that certainly makes things less "scary" for people who aren't comfortable with wiring Romex cables to things. All in all, the installation was straight forward. Each box had a provided hole template that made cutting the holes a breeze. The boxes fit well in their respective holes, even in our exterior wall that's full of insulation. In our case, the hardest part was fishing the wire between boxes due to the insulation, but it still only took a few minutes with a push-pull rod. If you're installing in an interior wall (no insulation), this would be virtually effortless. While I am rating this 5 stars because it works well and fills a need unlike any other product out there, I still think there are a couple challenges worth mentioning. Like others have said in their reviews, getting the soundbar into its hole is difficult due to the way the Romex sticks out at the top and bottom of the box. The good news is that it can be done with a little effort. In my case, I found the easiest way was to make sure the wires were pressed flat to the outsides of the box as much as possible, feed the top half of the box (with wiring) into the hole first, then wiggle in the bottom while applying enough pressure to get the bottom Romex to rub away just enough drywall to fit in. That worked out pretty well. The other challenge is that the soundbar box is just a hair wider (vertically) than my soundbar, so you can see the top and bottom edge of the box. In our case, this is pretty minor because the wall is a light color and the white of the box doesn't stand out very much. Still, we will likely paint it to match the wall. In the case of both of these "downsides", it's easy to see that these are simply limitations that are hard to avoid for such a product. For example, the depth of a standard wall limits where you can put the Romex wires on the soundbar box, which is why it's sticking out of the top and bottom. Had they have chosen to bring the wires out the back, the box would be deeper and may not fit well into the wall. if they brought the wires out of the side of the box, there might be challenges with the adjacent studs (the box is pretty wide as it is). As for the box showing from behind the soundbar, that's just the nature of the beast. The box has to be at least wide enough to allow a standard electrical plug and enough room to get your hand in there to use the plug, so there's not much to be done about that. As I said, though, the boxes can be painted to ease that problem. If your wondering if this product is worth the money they charge for it. Let me tell you, it is. This is the 5th TV I've mounted on a wall and the first one I've done in conjunction with a soundbar. This was definitely easier than the other installations that required me to splice a new outlet off of an existing one, which also limited me to where the TV could be installed (based on which stud bays had existing outlets) if I didn't want to rip more holes in the wall to jump between stud bays, that is. So, in summary: great product; nothing else on the market like it where the soundbar power is concerned; installed easily; well made; love the inclusion of the templates and the power "pigtail" cord to plug everything into an outlet.
