Routing them behind the plasterboard.
Just make a series of holes and keep feeding the cable from one to another, when you reach where the amp is just fill em back in.
The glass fibre rods from screwfix are superb for routing cables, one of the best purchases ive made, it made routing the TVLink cables for my sky really easy behind the plasterboard upstairs.

I've got that, looks quite good.
Sanded it and put two coats of emulsion on it to match the walls. Not ideal but better than the rectangular variant.
Only issue I have is that I had to buy 2x1.5m as that's the smallest pack they do. I've used the spare trunking as cable tidy.
As an AV Installer I usually would use D-Line products (when chasing walls or feeding cables in the wall cavity is not possible). They do a range of colours too.
I phoned up the D-Line director once (only a small company) and he was a real friendly bloke and very helpful so I feel a bit loyal now. He phoned me back some weeks later to see how I was getting on with his products etc. I'm not even a major user when you realise the products are in trade counters and B&Q.
You can also get proper aluminium trunking which looks nice when used in the right environment.

in behind the skirting board is always an option, depending on how old/new your house is it could be a simple job taking them off and nailing them back on....might sound brutal but its another suggestion....i've got all my speaker wires ran in behind my skirting board..but then again i also have a massive space under my floor so i just went under the house and ran my sky cables and extra telephone wires where needed and just popped them up through the flooring
