I have a bit of a problem I'm hoping to address before my speakers come in. I've been trying to figure out a way to run speaker wire from the front of my room through the wall, up to the ceiling and back to the side walls in the rear of the room where the surrounds will go.
The issue: I have a two story home and the setup will be on the first floor. I've already invested in Monoprice's 12 gauge in-wall wire. If at all possible, I'd like to not take the 'hiding' approach (under the base boards and up; not the prettiest I'm guessing when dealing with 12 gauge wire). But if that's the only alternative, I guess I'll have to make due. Although, this will be a Living Room/HT, and my WAF will definately go down by doing this.
My questions:
Does anyone have any miraculous way that I will be able to run the wire in-wall for the surrounds?
If there is no other way, what are my best methods for hiding the 12 gauge wire I've already bought from being seen at the point from the baseboard to the surrounds?
Do I need to get realistic, and get lower gauge cable to accomplish this?
Thoughts? Opinions? Life Objectives?
