Anyone have a good website that explains how to run speaker wire behind walls? I was able to get the center rear channel done with no problems, but from there on it was all problems. Im just looking for a couple tricks of the trade that may help me out. I have a good grasp at how to do it (and all the tools), but wouldn't mind reading some installation tips. I'm working on exterior walls.

Secondly, I'm looking for a finishing peice to plug my drill hole in the wall where the speaker wire comes out. Any idea where to find them?

Thanks,
BigUps

A couple of options I've used. If you want to get fancy, you can mount a plate with binding posts like this http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Terk-2-Hole-Speaker-Connector--SC2W-/sem/rpsm/oid/95086/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do.

On the cheap side, a coax cover plate with the connecter removed covers the hole nicely
