Alternatively, if you are going to run new wire under the baseboard anyways, you could just run two more pairs from your equipment area to the proper side positions. Leave the wiring intact in the rear, and then you will be all set up for 7.1 surround sound.
I recently did this for a friend whose wife wouldn't let him move his surround speakers from on top of his TV (not much surround effect there) because she refused to have speaker wire showing along the floor.
He now has surround speakers with no wires showing as even the wall plates are hidden by his surrounds.
Also, we recovered 2 dollars from the project when we found a Toony inside the wall where we were were cutting the gyp rock up slightly under where the baseboard goes back on. Must have been dropped in the wall before or during the drywall process.
