Moving Existing Wires

[lanky]

My place is pre-wired for video and sound. The problem I have is that I want to install a 19-inch LCD by my kitchen, but the audio/video wires to do so are located about two studs away. Any suggestions as to how to get the wires two studs over?

Do you have enough slack in the wires to move them that far?

If they are long enough; I can think of a few ways.
The first, is to cut out a piece of sheet rock, drill holes in the studs and move the wires over. Put the rock back, spackle and paint.

The second, Greenlee makes a flexible drill bit, about 4 ft long.
Cut out a hole for your low voltage trim ring. Use that opening to insert the bit and drill the two studs.
The drill bit doubles as a snake.

The third, Wiremold makes Cable raceways for your wire.

The fourth, get a bigger LCD, that will cover the two studs; and leave the wires where they are.

If you can access between the studs from the attic then you could always pull them up and fish them down where you want them. Then you can just put in a box and plate. Quite simple really.

However, if you can't then you'll have to what Rickster suggested.

Isn't this the most obvious solution???
