WIRE CLUTTER IN CHASSIS
Is there any tips or tricks in cleaning up the clutter of wires? It looks like crap having a tangled mess of wires in my XXX. There has to be an easy way to clean things up. Any suggestions?

Try this
Take one of your hex drivers or small shaft screw driver..... Unplug the wire from the reciever, and starting with the plug, wrap it tightly around the shaft upto the point you cant anymore. This will make a "phone cord" effect and keep the wire a bit more cleaner looking.
You can also go one step further and run a zip-tie through the middle and the tighten the zip down creating a small circle.

After you curl the wires aroung a hex driver, heat it with a hair dryer or low setting on a heat gun. Be careful hot to melt the insulation. This will retain the curls better.

Haven't tried this, so take it with a grain of salt...
How 'bout some big heat-shrink tubing...
Cram all the wires inside...
Shrink it up...

Zip ties or use a hex driver to cul the wires that way it looks descent, I think some ppl already said that above but yeah they both wokr good, that's what I do
