Covering up speaker wire

Covering Up Speaker Wire


any suggestions on cover speaker wire for my home theater system...instead of drilling into walls, etc.........thanks!!! If you can't run it parallel to the ceiling joists, I've seen crown molding used to cover up surround speaker wire. Fish the wires inside the wall between the studs to the ceiling level, then run it on the outside of the wall to where you want the speaker. When all is set get some crown molding you like and nail it in place over the wires. You can also buy baseboards that have a channel for wire. another option is to use the Monster wire that is paintable. Run it along top of the baseboards/trim and just repaint so it will blend in. Hardware stores also sell different size plastic or metal conduit that you can run along the walls or ceiling. Just check your local Lowe's or Home Depot. Here are a couple links with different types of conduit. http://www.hometech.com/techwire/resigard.html http://www.wiretrakusa.com/products.htm Mike That's the saltiest thing I ever tasted, and I once ate a big heaping bowl of salt. In addition to the suggestions already given, you may also want to consider the following flat, self-adhesive speaker wire tape which can be made invisible under paint or joint compound. See this URL: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=100-015 when i ran all my wires from the attic i drilled a hole in the corner of the room,then got a pvc pipe that the wires fit in.my walls are dark green so i painted the pipe dark green to match and the small clips to hold it in he corner are matched to.
