I'm in the process of rebuilding my theater room and adding some speakers throughout the house and was wondering if the "in-wall" speaker wire really is necessary for speaker wire that runs in wall/ ceiling cavities. Because of my theater room location, some of the wire is actually ran under carpeting (between pad and actual carpet) and that has always been "regular" not in-wall rated speaker wire. Never had any issues.
