Running Speaker Wire through Drywall

Hi all!

Does anyone have experience of running speaker wire or cable through drywall? I wanted to put 2 surround speakers but don't know how to run speaker wire down the drywall into the basement. I already have the electronic hand held stud finder and know how to use it. In my mind, I am thinking of drilling a hole big enough to stick the cable though. Since there are the foamy material (not sure the correct name?) to keep the house warm, how do I run the speaker wire down to the basement.

Does anyone know a good website link that explains how to run speaker cable through the drywall and straight down to the basement?

I have taken few pictures but I can not attach to this forum. I would have to email them to you. My basement is not finish.

Thanks!!

Thanks everyone for all the help!

Regarding the fish tape, does the fish tape have a weight at the end because if it does not have weight, it will be very difficult to slide it down the other hole that goes through the basement. Can you control the fish tape to the direction you want it to go? Because you can't really see what's going on behind the drywall, you are driving blind.

Thanks!!
