When choosing the point where the
wire exits the house, remember that
it’s best if less wire is exposed to the
outside elements. Try to find a point
in the wall as close to the speaker as
possible when drilling a hole for the
wire. Once you run the wire through
that point, be sure to properly seal the
hole. If you’re routing the wire underground, use a direct burial wire. To prevent
future damage, it’s recommended to also use a PVC conduit.

Wire
Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several
methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.
Wire Routing
The wire can be routed behind the
baseboard by cutting a groove out of
the back of the baseboard, or by buy-
ing special baseboard designed for
concealing wires.
Behind the Baseboard
When running wires through a wall, be
sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC
wiring, pipes, and ducts.
