    Weak audio form Scientific Atlantic cable box

    I purchased a samsung blu-ray htib system. I get great audio when watching blu-rays, but I get weak audio when watching tv from my cable box. The receiver doesn't have hdmi inputs, so I used optical audio. Sound only comes out of the front speakers and it is really weak. What would cause this?

    I'm at the rough in phase

    I'm running wires for my speakers. Do you guys usually just leave the wires poking out of the drywall and connected directly to the speakers, or do you add wall plate terminals?
