I am trying to run a single speaker wire to the back of my room, but there is a doorway opening that transitions carpet to linoleum. Doing some research I have found 2 options. Do either of these sound better than the other?


I am also wondering if I can bend the metal carpet transition up, stick the speaker wire in, and smash it back down with a rubber mallet.


Option 1) Cut slits on either side of the doorway and run the wire under the carpet


Option 2) Pull the transition strip back and stick the wire inside the metal and hammer the crimper back into the carpet.

Option 2 should work and that's the one I'd go with. I'd just be careful of any tacks that might be in or around there.

thanks for the help, i ended up pulling the carpet on either side of the doorway up and sliding the wire under the carpet against the tack strip.
