I'm trying to put some outdoor speakers on my front porch under the roofline soffit. The house is a cape cod, so it is essentially one story high in front with a steep roof angle.
The receiver is in the living room, in the front of the house. There is a full-unfinished basement running the length of the house.
Here's my plan, but since my construction experience is non-existent, I would like any comments, suggestions....
1. Drill hole in lower wall molding large enough to fit speaker wire. Pray I don't hit carpet and unwind long string of it into the middle of the living room....
2. Shove speaker wire though hole and pray it goes into the basement and I can find it. Pull enough wire into basement and walk down to end of house where the speakers will be located.
3. Now how the heck do I get the wire from the basement up to the attic so I can feed it out to the soffit ? I was contemplating getting a snake or other type of feeder and shove it down from the attic to the basement in between the front wall, praying it doesn't hit anything on the way....
Lots of praying in my plans, and Mr Murphy and I do not get along too well. How can I do this job and still keep my sanity... while not wrecking my house !!!!
Thanks in advance !!!!
