No idea what the story behind this is. It's a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

Its not a stud, its a piece of fiber board screwed into place. I'm guessing it was supposed to be backing for a patch that never happened. The double gang would be empty, just a blank wall plate, or half existing coax and half blank

Oh, well that's definitely easier then, assuming you can mount it to the current stud without it feeling jiggly.

Edit: bonus is that you'll have a slot there if you want to run speaker wire or something in the future
