I need to run speaker cable to my rear speakers. What I am trying to work out is what can I use to neatly and securely pin QED classic 79 to the wall? Getting the cable to the back isn't an issue as I can put it in the bottom corner, but I need to get the rear right channel feed to go ceiling height for about a meter.
 
Have a look in your local hardware store,or online for cable clips.These are a "U" shaped clip with a single nail per clip.They are available in a variety of sizes to suit anything from bell wire to 6mm twin and earth cable.
You could also use trunking/conduit,which would look a bit neater than bare wire fixed to the wall.
Or if you wish to do the job professionally you could go the whole hog and chase the cable into the wall and plaster over so they're completely hidden.
 
Any idea where I can get cheap trunking? Not wanting to go into the walls, as I am renting right now, that can wait till I buy my of gaff. Cheers.
 
The floor is wood laminate. If it doesn't go near the ceiling then it has to be over a door frame which I think won't look as good. The living room is split in two, one part dining room where my PC and office stuff is, the other half is the TV/sofa area. There is a 15cm intersection of wall that sticks down from the ceiling and comes out the sides. One area leading up is wall, the other has a door. So I wanted to use this little bit hanging down to tuck the cable away and bring it from one side to the other.
 
Pop into B&Q they sell trunking in the electrical section in various sizes and lengths, that way you can get your hands on some and work it out for yourself.
