Some pro installer tricks (I'm writing this really fast...please respond if you need clarification)
Another way to route speaker wire is beneath or behind carpet tack-strips, baseboards, kick and quarter-round moulding, crown molding and under thresholds.
Another method requires a dremel type rotary cutter (hammer and chisel will work), joint compound or caulk, sandpaper, and touch-up paint:
If you do not have clean access through ceilings, subfloors and crawlspaces, try channeling a groove for the cable along seems like window moldings, wall corners, or where the wall meets the ceiling. If you are mounting surrounds in corners, route cable to the corner using any method, then channel a grove up the corner seem to the speaker location. The repairs are practically undetectable.
You can also route through ventalation ducts as long as you seal any access holes.
Remeber to use only inwall rated cable.
