Default Running cable across doorway??

Steve wrote:
I'm having my basement re-carpeted. I have a doorway that I
currently have 1 speaker wire and 2 CATV cables running across. The
old carpet had padding so I just cut a channel into the padding and
ran a 1/4" x 1-1/4" cable protector across the doorway. The new
carpet will be glued down with no padding. The other room will not
be carpeted yet. What would be the best way to get the cable across
the door? Right now the installers plan to use a raised molding that
I put the cable inside. The problem with that is that I still have
to get the cable to the inside of the doorway (we currently don't use
a door here. I was thinking about cutting a channel into the
concrete floor and either use a conduit or the cable protector. I
have pictures of the doorway he http://www.sjfphoto.com/newcarpet/


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

While I would suggest the wall or the ceiling would be preferred, you
could put in a threshold and put it under that.

You are speaking ONLY of speaker wire, right?
