Drill a l-inch hole through the
010.
horizontal 2x4 directly below the
amplifier wall outlet hole.
Because of the small diameter of
011.
the hole, the plumb bob/string
method may not work on the
amplifier end. If so, tape the two
cable ends (which come from the
speakers) to a stiff wire and push
them up through the hole. Since
there's only a l-inch hole upstairs,
you'll probably need to wiggle the
wire around until your helper can
locate it and snag the wires taped
to the end. They, too may need to
use length of stiff wire with a
a
hook in it to grab the cables
through the small hole.
Have your helper pull the cable
up until most of the slack has
been taken up down in the crawl
space or basement. If you want,
you can secure the cable runs to
the floor joists or beams using
insulated staples.
You've done it! Skip to the next section
titled "Hooking up your speakers."

Time to use that roll of cable. Push
the cable end through one of the
holes you just drilled until it
extends at least 8 feet. If you
encounter insulation, such as an
outside wall, tape the speaker cable
to a stiff wire and poke it down
until it can be located at the
speaker cut-out.
