Hi All,
Hopefully a simple one. I will shortly be having some M&K In Walls and In Ceilings installed. I already have some CS-35's which I will be using for Rear duties (they will be positioned better than in the pictures!).
I have been considering the work that needs to be done to install the In Wall stuff and am conscious that there will be a lot of plasterboard being removed/cut etc to make way for cables. However I have basically zero knowledge on this topic. I have an alternate route that has been accepted by the good lady in that I could easily use some plastic trunking to route speaker cable to the rears (https://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Line-Tru...JSHNM19XRHD&psc=1&refRID=J5S5RNSJ0JSHNM19XRHD). It might not look as good but could potentially save a chunk of money for me and effort for the installers. Does anyone know how much work would actually be involved in getting cables through the walls to the rear speakers - it's a new build, so I'm presuming there will be horizontal batons in the walls, but again, don't actually know!
Some pictures attached. Basically the speakers trunking could go from behind the unit and sub, round the corners and underneath the large window (hidden by the blinds)then be lost behind the sofa, but if it's actually not a massive effort I would rather keep it hidden completely!
Cheers
Scott
