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

There is underlay under the carpet that is stapled to the floor so using a fish tape may be difficult . The last time I went the full route and removed the carpet and underlay and routered out a trough in the plywood next to the wall , this worked out very well , the better half decided it would be a good time to have new carpeting installed , so the project cost a little extra but we were both happy when it was done . I have also ran cable along the corner and had custom baseboard made to cover it .
