i use something like this:
http://www.cnaweb.com/racewaywiremolding.aspx

yung ginamit ko around P45.00 per piece (8 feet in length each,) bought from ace hardware. i used contact cement (rugby) for adhesion to the wall.

EDIT:
kung mapapansin mo, sa sinehan you wouldn't really see where the wires run. that's because they use false walls and wiring is hidden within the walls.

If may cornice ang rooms mo, and may clearance sa foot, puede mo din dun padaanin sa horizontals, then use the moulding for the verticals

hindi pa tapos ang bahay kapatid....mga bandang august pa bago matapos.

to give you an overview:

3.5x6(rectangle) ang laki ng aking kwarto, gusto ko lang sana itago yung wire from amplifier to rear speakers (sa tingin ko magmumukhang may ahas sa kwarto pag nakalagay na ito)

salamat sa mga taong nagbigay ng kani kanilang suhestyon, hindi matatawaran ang inyong kabaitan.

Kung di pa tapos pasama mo na Lang pagbaon sa wall tsaka floor para sa speakers tapos gamit ka ng PVC yun medyo malaki para madali mag pasok ng wire.

may sinabi yung friend ko na habang hindi pa nag papalitada, patiktikan ko daw para dun ko lagay yung wires? ano masasabi ninyo dito? eto nga pala yung itsura ng kwarto =)




yung amplifier na nasa ilalim ng tv, ikokonekta dun sa likod (bipole speakers) yun yung magiging problema dahil kitang kita nga ang wires.

Naglagay ako ng mababang cabinet sa left and right wall para taguan ng dvds, etc. At the same time, dumaan yun mga wires ko sa ilalim ng baseboard ng cabinet.

madali lang yan kung di pa tapos.

kung tapos na ang buhos sa sahig, sa kisame mo ipadaan para konti na lang ang tiktikin sa pader pababa. tama yun, gumamit ka ng pvc ng mga 2" siguro para madaling i manage ang cables. make sure lang na may alambre o ano mang wire sa loob ng pvc bago fix sa wall para madali ang pagpasok ng cables. this way, itali mo lang sa isang dulo ng alambre ang speaker cables tapos hilahin sa kabila, kasunod nun nakangiti ka na. hth  ;)

Problem lang sa 3" baka 4" lang ang hollow blocks pero pwede na rin tutal vertical naman ang uka nya sa wall pero kung horizontal, ibang usapan na yun. I think 2" pwede na.  ;)

Quote lang kita. Bakit kailangan pang 2-3 years. You can still use your plasma even with a PJ.  ;D Hindi naman all the time gagamit ka ng PJ. Mind you, uulitin mo din sa PJ yun mga magagandang movies na napanuod mo sa plasma mo.  ;) So get a PJ na.  :)

Mag-abang ka na din ng taguan or valance ng screen ng PJ kung mag-roll up screen ka.

FLAT cable and carpet (kaso mas mahal ang flat cable kesa round), or,

Free access floor, or,

Plastic moulding - you can screw that to the concrete wall instead of gluing.

Pwede rin 2 na 2" para separate yun sa HDMI.
