Cables under the rug.....


I have researched the topic with some vigor and know about almost all of my options regarding wiretracks, corner molding, etc.

My question is more fundamental: What do I do to bury cables at a door threshold. The room is carpeted...and I have traditionally cut the padding and tape(d) the wires down...and then carpeted over the lot.

I have a signifigant amount of cable---rgb, straightwire meastro interconnects, speaker cables (synergistic), and a few others...so there is a sh*#load of cables.....

I would prefer another method as, eventaully, the foot traffic will wear on the wires AT THE THRESHOLD.

I've got the rest of the run covered.

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Why not do it through the wall properly...with receptacles? If you are handy with a giprock saw and a screwdriver you could make a neat job of it. As long as you are dealing with signal wires (no 120 VAC) you don't need an electrician. Just my two cents - I have done this several times. It ain't cheap but it looks professional.
