How to run speaker wire?!!

[Joseman37]

Hi there.
This might be a dumb question, but how does one run a speaker wire on a wall (not inside it. I don't want to break my wall).

Thank you.

Usually something like this.

Amazon.com: TV Cord Cover, 36 inch Cable Concealer for Wall Mount TV System, Paintable Cable Management Raceway to Hide Wires, White: Home Audio & Theater

If you need to go along the wall, you can sometimes tuck cables under the base trim.

Also search cable raceways....a variety of things you can do.

Here’s a good option:

If you do use a cable chase, my advice from personal experience is to NOT use the adhesive backing. If you ever go to remove it that adhesive backing will remain stuck to the wall, and it’ll be a major chore to get it off, if you can at all. It’s better to simply screw them down. Small screw holes can easily be patched and painted.

Cool.

I'm hoping to modify my office/listening room this year and this is a great option, instead of drilling/fishing my speaker wires and it's 16 gauge to boot.

Did you paint yours? Just wondering how it blends in.

I've never used it. I've always been fortunate enough to be able to run my wire in-wall.
