Wiremold[/URL] that you can mount above your baseboard and go up a wall in the corner to cross the room at the ceiling line. They have the necessary corner pieces and tees for anything you might need. If you use a 1/4" shim to space the piece that goes against the wall and throw in a regular coarse threaded 1-1/4" drywall screw every 16" it will follow the adjacent line and practically disappear to normal people.
Also take a good look to see how the corner cover pieces fit over the piece that goes on the wall and it's cover piece. If you understand that relationship and make your cuts accordingly the corner trim pieces will lay completely flat and you won't have any unseated gaps which give it a nice neat look.
I mounted mine on the baseboard as opposed to above the baseboard because I did not plan to go up a wall at a corner. You would only do that to get around a doorway or an opening in a wall.
Your idea is a good one, but my family room is where I have my receiver located on the lower level of my bi-level house. There are many door ways, a fire place, and stairs that come down from the foyer to the family room that I would have to contend with. Where I want the rear speakers located at the back of the room and there’s just too many obstacles to contend with, that why I think under the carpet might be the easiest way to do it.

I think you will buy a lot of trouble if you go under carpet. For one thing you will loose the tension and have a ricked carpet. Ask a professional installer if it is possible with your carpet.
Other options are for wireless rears, no rears, they are not that big a deal, or making a channel with that Wiremold round all your obstacles.
Another option, ask a good electrician to see what he can do to pull through walls.
If the electrician can't help and you really want rears, but not wireless, then you will have to open up walls.
