Running cables under carpet. Any great methods?


I need to run a subwoofer cable under the carpet. I managed to do a 4-5 foot run, but now I am being asked to move it to the other side of the room. Anyone have any brilliant ideas without pulling up the floor covering?
Thanks, John

Ha ha!
Thanks, John
Here is a simple answer to your question.

Best of luck!
Many times, if you pull the baseboards you will find gaps to simple push the cable into. As Elizabeth suggested a router will make it easy. You are working on the back sides of the baseboards any way.

1 piece of advice: After removing the baseboards, pull the nails all the way through instead of pushing them out and splitting the wood. Then, just buy new finish nails.
Hey that idea with the custom baseboard Tmsorosk suggested IS a really slick way to do it, provided you aren't using any big 'ol fat cable. It will be costly though. I had that done last April 2010 when the wife and I ripped out all our (ugly, dirty, smelly, 18 year old) carpet from "hell". We put in Oak hardwood floors throughout, and custom made 4 1/2" tall solid oak baseboards. We had the flooring contractor router a channel on the backside of the B.B. and then neatly tucked a 40 foot long run of Audioquest Diamond X3 interconnects (xlr connectors) into it. Once the B.B.'s were installed it looked super clean!
Problem was, it DID cost us a chunk 'o change to have that done. Like $2500 for the custom B.B., another couple hundred bucks for the "extra" router work, and of course the labor to install the whole shootin' match. So we ended up spending over 3 grand when it was all said and done, albiet NOT all just for the subwoofer cable. But pricey none the less. Probably would have been easier to try out the "wireless" option again? Aaronmadler has a great answer with the Outlaw Audio link. And it's very reasonably priced. Go check that out. If I had bothered to do my research prior to putting in new wood floors & custom B.B.'s, I might have gone that route, and saved a bunch of money! (money better spent on new music, good Scotch, import beer, and cigars!)
