How did you run your speaker wires to the rear surrounds? (1 Viewer)

[Jack Sampson]

I need to get these speaker wires off the floor. I thought of trying to run them through the ceiling but the crawl space is too small. Also I have tile floors so no going under the carpet. Has anyone used those plastic conduits? Anybody have any other suggestions?

Mine go through the floor into the basement then up through the walls. I take your on a slab?

I stapled mine to the walls right underneath the cieling. Looks awful, to be honest, but it's not meant to be a permanent solution.

My HT is in the basement, so I ran the wires along the wall to one speaker and then across the floor to the other. They aren't hidden at all. That's not a good looking solution in a main room, but in my basement, it works fine.

If you have base moulding, you can remove it and run it behind it, then re-install.

There's also base replacement moulding that have wire conduit in it as well as plastic conduit made to sit on top of the moulding. I've got wire behind a standard base mould and in a conduit on top of it. Both work just fine.

For the rear surrounds which are mounted up high I took the wire up to a crown moulding in a plastic conduit behind the equipment and then behind the crown moulding around to where the speakers were.

I have not seen this in person but it might be a fix for some...

basically some super flat wire that can be painted to match the wall...making it "dissapear"

Interesting... but I think it would just be easier to run a conduit. Thanks....

I added crown moulding to my room. Perfect for hiding wires, plus looks good to boot.

I've already got a molding around the floor. That's where it makes themost sense to run the wires. Also I've got to go over a door frame.
