Hi all. Just got all my equipment in for my home theatre. I need to run wire for the 2 rears for my HT setup, and I've run into some predicaments. My room is in the lower level of a split level. That means no basement/crawlspace to use for going under the room, and no attic for going over. My first plan was to run behind the baseboards, but this seems like it's not going to work either. the original floor in the room was hardwood, and there is now carpet over it (don't get me started on that). The baseboards are original, and thus sink below the level of the carpet. As such, I can't get the nails in the baseboards out to get the baseboards removed. Also, since the baseboard goes below the level of the carpet, I can't get the wire under the baseboard either.

So, any suggestions here? I've done some office drops of Ethernet cable, so I'm comfortable with running the wire up the wall to the speaker ... but I'm running out of ideas for going down the length of the wall to get to my components. I'm no carpenter by any means, but I'm not afraid to tackle new home improvement projects and learn something.
