Wife stepping on speaker wire

Virtual Dynamics are garden water hose sized. If you get a set of shotgun bi-wire there is enough cable to trip a horse. They're running specials all the time & if you call Rick & tell him what you're looking for I'm sure he'll fix you up.

Another way to make the wife aware is to use one of those cable protectors that are used at live shows, where the cable runs under & it is taped down to the floor. She might get tired of seeing half a roll of duct tape holding them down & will be somewhat more careful.

Boy-o-boy I know why I am single :) did you ever think of cutting her feet off? lol. Telling her they will damage the shoes may work though, good idea ;)

Her stepping on your cable is indicative of a much deeper problem in your relationship. Her expression of apparent disregard towards your system is a reflection of an underlying jealousy towards what she sees as a rival. The stepping on the cable is an obvious metaphor for her true intent.

Solution(s) - ask her how her day went (actually listen to her reply). If this fails then try flowers and dinner. If still no reaction, then you'll have to go the full monty and buy her a gift equal to cost of your last component upgrade.

No charge!

Get some split loom tubing from your local car stereo shop, etc. This will make the speaker wires look big and provide some limited protection and won't cost much at all.
Here is one web site that has prices and a picture:
