[QUOTE="Blk03SVTCobra, post: 6385685, member: 10866"] Probably should have mentioned this up front: we own a two-story townhome with no basement. We have an attic, but it is above the second floor, and the home theater is on the first floor. Only the roof, front and rear of the house touch the outside air. The rest of the walls are a buffer between us and the next house over. I will say this about the walls between units too: you can not hear a PEEP out of any neighbor, ever. I had some very loud renters live next door for a while, and never heard a darn thing until I stepped out of the house or had a window open. I'm thinking this is a bad thing, since it probably means that there is a lot of insulation between us and the next unit, which would make fishing wires harder. I'm starting to think that the best idea would be as follows: 1) Cut 2" diameter hole at each speaker location 2) Cut 2" diameter hole directly above baseboard 3) Fish wire from top hole to bottom hole 4) Patch/plug wall at each hole 5) Paint wire same color as baseboard where it goes over baseboard in inconspicuous area 6) Run remainder of wire under baseboard around room and back to receiver I suppose another good method would be replace [B]2)[/B] above with: 2) Drill 1" hole at very bottom of baseboard at each speaker location Thoughts?
