I know a gentleman(?) who drilled a hole in his floor and ran his cables under the floor. He has a basement so the whole thing was pretty easy. Is that a possibility?
advice on hiding cables
My speakers (B&W N804) are up against an 'outside' wall while my system is against aninterior wall. There happens to be a fireplace between the two. I had a tech come look and to run wire hidden in wall would be around $500 - which include sheetrock repair (not crazy about cutting two holes in outside wall due to firebreak in 12' wall). Does anyone have a solution for cable management that would be pleasing to the eye? My speaker cable is 4-14 ga bi-wire (65 strands/wire).

How about duct tape ? A million roadies can't be wrong. It comes in loads of colors these days, so you'll probably find a pretty close match. ( I think you should pass this suggestion along to your wife and try to keep a straight face while doing so). Actually I think Ultraviolet's idea is a really good one .. tucked away in my mind for possible future use. |
@miner42 I understand your problem and think you might find something acceptable as a compromise to in-wall routing on Amazon. I was looking for something similar myself and ran across an add-on channel that runs along the baseboard. The advantage to doing it this way is that if you desire to make changes to the room arrangement down the road, it will be much easier and of course less expensive. |

This sounds similar to what I did and somewhat visible between the speakers and credenza in my Phoenix virtual system. These “cord hiders” were purchased on Amazon and they run along the baseboard. |
