what do you do with surround speaker wires?

[thomsbrain]

for those of you who live in apartments, what do you do with your surround sound wires? run them along the edge of the ceiling and wall, around the room? i was thinking about upgrading to 5.1 for movies, but i have no idea how'd i get the signal to the opposite wall without it being ugly as hell...

I rip up the edge of the carpet and lay the wire between the tack strip and the wall.

probably a repost, NIK!!!

Nah, he'll just say wrong forum
like this should go in here since you're "networking" the speakers to the receiver
:roll:

One option is to pull up the carpet at the baseboard and tuck the speaker cables between the baseboard and carpet tacking strip if your room layout permits it.

I usually kill myself when i'm given such a hard choice.

I personally am lazy. I run them along the baseboard and then get enough furnature in the room that you really don't notice them.

We have hardwood floors, so under the carpet isn't an option. I bought some white speaker cable and ran it along the baseboards of the room. The only wire you really see / notice is the one running up the wall to the speaker, but its white so it doesn't look too bad.

my problem is that i have doors in both directions around the room. one side goes off to the bedroom/bathroom, and the other goes to my front door/kitchen area. at some point i'll have to go up and over those door frames.

i was wondering if anyone has used that cabling covering stuff that you see sometimes in school classrooms? it's pretty ugly, too, though... maybe just white speaker cable is the best i can do in my situation.
