where the hole should be. If unsure on whether there may or may not be studswhere the

Under the Carpet One option is to li
up the carpet and route “tape wire”
under the carpet.
Behind the Baseboard The wire can
be routed behind the baseboard by
cutting a groove out of the back of
the baseboard, or by buying special
baseboard designed for concealing
wires.
Attic or Basement When available,
you can route the wire through an
attic or crawlspace.
Through Walls When running wires
through a wall, be sure to avoid all
obstacles such as AC wiring, pipes,
and ducts.
