installing wired speakers for surround, questions?

[FL happy camper]

Hi,

we are closing on a 2004 double wide home very soon and I have not been able to find out who the manufacturer is for this home, when I do I will update. What I am curious about is how I am going to wire my surround speakers up. If I make an attic opening in a closet will I be able to move around safely like in a house? Do I need to fish the wire up from underneath? Hopefully someone will have some ideas on how to best do this.

Thanks,

Scott

There is no attic in a manufactured home, All you will find usually is blown in insulation that makes a mess when you open up the ceiling. I would go for a wireless system to make things easier.

I own a wired surround sound system and I really don't want to buy another. Surely if you make an opening there must be some space between the ceiling and the roof??

Are your rear speakers wall mount?

I ran my wires down, then across to the outer wall, up through the floor.....and then up the wall to each speaker. I did put the wire in copper tubing so that it is hidden and the end result is a kinda modern looking wire hide.

The bottom line: there are no good or easy choices.

If you have carpet and baseboards...you might be able to conceal the wires under the baseboard.

no opening ceilings, walls etc

use wire tracks to hide the wires. can be painted to match your wall color

Thanks for the tip, I thought about that and I am going to look into it once we move in.
