Cables under the rug.....

I have researched the topic with some vigor and know about almost all of my options regarding wiretracks, corner molding, etc.

My question is more fundamental: What do I do to bury cables at a door threshold. The room is carpeted...and I have traditionally cut the padding and tape(d) the wires down...and then carpeted over the lot.

I have a signifigant amount of cable---rgb, straightwire meastro interconnects, speaker cables (synergistic), and a few others...so there is a sh*#load of cables.....

I would prefer another method as, eventaully, the foot traffic will wear on the wires AT THE THRESHOLD.

I've got the rest of the run covered.

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Please explain, I'm curious...

Sound, especially with cables, can be compromised in so many different ways. I was mentioning one of them

Tarsando,
Are you suggesting that the cable somehow knows how far off the ground it is.
Is this some sort of new intelligent design cable?
We'll call it AIC.

In the same way that it "knows" it's under a rug, it "knows" its height, not just in a room but above or below mean sea-level. Intelligent is right! And this is for any cable, including the throw-away ones that come in the box.

If it goes under a door and is wraped in some sort of insulation will that be ok for a small distance, I know many claim a benefit of wraping cables in foil for example.
More to discover
