This has probably been discussed to death but...
I'm moving into a new apartment soon and will, of course, be setting up my home theater. I currently live in a dump, so all of my wires are electrical taped to the walls, with no attempt at concealment whatsoever.
The new place is much nicer, however, so I want some semblance of neatness. Without going under the drywall, what are some easy ways to run my wiring to the surrounds, while keeping everything as neat as possible?
How about if I have to use free standing rear surrounds (i.e., not attached to a wall), how do I get the wires to the rears without leaving them exposed in the middle of the room? Since it's an apartment, I can't really pull up the carpet to run the wires under there, either. Is there a viable way to make an omelet without breaking some eggs?
I'm at a total loss, thanks for any input.
I forgot to mention...I'll be setting everything up in my living room as the apartment doesn't have room for a dedicated area.
