Running cables under carpet. Any great methods?


I need to run a subwoofer cable under the carpet. I managed to do a 4-5 foot run, but now I am being asked to move it to the other side of the room. Anyone have any brilliant ideas without pulling up the floor covering?
Thanks, John

Yeah, I figured its gonna be tough. There is no basement in my home. It is upstairs, but there is no way to go between the floors with all the fire blocks and such. I have contemplated trying to shove it between the edge of the carpet and the base board but there are two places that need to cross doorways.
I did use the fishtape on my original instalation accross the one doorway. It was a bear as the tape wanted to go everywhere but where I wanted it. But I did get it through eventually.
Thanks for the input. Perhaps I can sweet talk my way into keeping it where it is. I dont know which chore would be the harder one! Regards to all, John
