Ok, I'm going to put in wall speakers on each side of my plasma TV. What is the best way to run the speaker wire in the wall? There is already a hole below the TV where the power cord and everything is. Is there a some what easy way to use that hole? It's a finished exterior wall so I'd have to poke through two studs to make it over to the existing hole. Do I have any other options?

Check out company called LSD Inc, which stands for Labor Saving Devices, http://www.lsdinc.com/. They make tools for fishing wires behind sheetrock, etc. Their website has useful diagrams showing techniques.

thanks. Unfortunatly it shows what I already knew. It's pretty simple running straight down the wall, but going across the wall is my problem.

If you're first floor, have an unfinished basement or drop ceiling basement, then you can drill up from underneath to the stud bay where you'll place your speaker and drill up to the stud bay where you'll have your speaker jacks. That way you can fish your wire up from the basement using a snake and not have to cross any studs. It's what I did in my family room when I wanted to install inwalls.

that's a good idea, i wouldn't have thought of that. My basement isn't unfinished though unfortunatly. I'll see if I can do something similiar anyways.
