Just curious what if any tips or tricks exist to get speaker wire and/or a long HDMI cable through closed walls. My construction is just the common 2x4 studs 18" apart and drywall like many homes.
I have a 6' drillbit i bought at homedepot that is specifically for getting cables through walls, but some of the walls I have to go through are longer than that. There may be an extension they make to make it longer, but biggest problem is any 90 degree turns (say, going around an inside corner) I think i'm stuck with opening up the drywall in those places to thread the cable through the turn.
I talked to a professional installer who claimed his guys can get wires through walls without opening up holes and before I hired them I wondered if it wasn't something I could do myself.
I'm trying to wire up a 5.1 or 7.1 system with on-wall speakers, and I want to locate all my equipment in a small closet that's 35' cable feet away from the TV. I thought about just pulling the baseboard away and trying to run it on floor, but inevitably I have to go up the wall in order to make it over a door (archway) and its hard floor so I can't thread underneath the floor to get across.
Any suggestions? Thanks
