A better, cleaner solution is to hide speaker wire behind the wall, running each end to an opening with a tool called a fish tape.

Measure the distance along the wall between the location of the receiver and the speaker to determine the length of wire that will be needed. Mark the points with a pencil where the wire will go into and emerge from the wall. Drill a half-inch hole in the wall at each pencil mark. Insert the end of the fish tape into one of the holes and slowly extend the tape into the wall, toward the second hole until the fish tape is visible inside the secon
