Hi guys,
I`m 22 and got a BRAND spanking new appartment! I want to hook up my rear speakers but obviously dont want wires everywhere therefore i think the best way is to run them behind the stud wall? BUT with it being the rear speakers they have a fair distance to go...with the tv being a plasma its in the centre of the main wall so obviously it has to run the distance of the main wall 6ft, then along the side wall to behind the sofa - 8-10 ft.
Firstly whats the best way of doing it:
1) Run the cable from the speak through the wall all the way to the amp (15ft), definately would be the neatest way!!
2) Run the cable from the speaker, the length of the side wall , bring it out at the end of the side wall (8ft) and under the carpet along the front wall to the amp?
3) Run the cable form the speaker down the wall and bring it out at the floor directly below the speaker (i.e 3 ft!) and then under the carpet all the way to the amp.
So i have those desicions to make! BUT since i have done vertually no diy (but DEFINATELY would like to learn) could someone explain, even if you cant help with my specific problem, how you actually run a wire through a stud wall! I mean you must obviously drill the wall and thread the wire through, but how do you actually pull it back through especially if you are threading it a large distance??
Hope someone can help
