Questions about surround speakers?

Question

If i don't want to get the speakers installed in the ceiling walls, will the wires show? I want to put them on the floor but it'll just look odd if theres wires going all across the floor.

Answer 1

you can always just run the wires through the attic and back down the wall to were your speakers are

Answer 2

Depends on where you want to put the speakers.

One option you might want to consider is this flat wiring I saw in the store the other day:  http://www.21st-century-goods.com/page/2...

Essentially, you just stick this to your walls, and then you can plaster and or paint over it.

It is rather expensive though - about $1/ft when bought in rolls of 100'.

Another option is if you have a crawlspace under your house, then you can punch the cables down into the crawlspace, then across to where the speakers will go.

I wouldn't advise you putting the wires under the carpet - walking on them will eventually damage them.

Otherwise, there are beginning to make wireless speakers now that are intended for rear/surround speakers.  They are more expensive than the wired type, obviously, but that does solve the wire problem.
