How handy are you? The width of your door molding plus drywall is about 1" (or more if you have plaster walls), which means you can offset the cable about one inch toward the kitchen which is right where the threshold sits. To do this, I would carefully remove the door molding (which you will reuse), remove enough of the drywall/plaster behind where the door molding goes so that you will be able to route the cable into where the threshold sits. Now, remove the existing threshold and cut out (skill saw + chisel/hammer or, preferably a router or wood grinder) an area about two-thirds the depth of your cables thickness and just slightly wider than the width of the cable. Then, route your cable into the new channel. Replace the door molding. Now, you will install a custom wood threshold (you can buy one or just buy a piece of hardwood that matches your wood floors). You will want to cut a dado on the underside of the new threshold (the depth of which will be the remaining one-third of the cable width and the width of which will be slightly wider than the width of the cable). Now, cut the threshold to fit, and place it over the cable. This will look professional, and it will provide a safe environment (for you and your cable).
Speakercbl runs through my doorway and too thick
So I am auditioning a new pair of speaker cables. I brought home some Shunyata Andromedas and they are about 3 times as thick as the Straightwire sextet cables that are currently in my system. So they are sounding great, the problem is so far that the cable runs through the doorway that connects my kitchen and living room. (There is no other way to setup my system) So I am wondering is there any type of housing I can run the cable through that can make it so I can walk over it easier? I do no want to run the cable through the basement, that would require 2 1-1/2 in holes in my floors + longer cables.
Anyone ever run into this problem??
