Surely this won’t be as pain-free and smooth-looking as the picture makes it out to be, but AWS’ one-two-three step adhesive backed tape wire could be your answer—especially if you’re deft with the spackler and painting skills. The adhesive backing couldn’t be much simpler for sticking wire to walls (or baseboards, perhaps).
For termination, the company says the wire can be attached to many types of speakers by bending the flat copper conductors round. You can use a straightened paper clip as a mold, place it on top of the conductor, and use needle nose pliers to fold the conductor round. Also, standard speaker pins can be crimped on; to use screw-on style connectors, slit the flat conductors with scissors, then thread the slit wire into one side of the screw-on connector, fold the ends over, and screw on the other side of the pin as directed on the connector directions.
Wire comes in 12/2 to 18/4 AWG for surround-sound applications, and is only .012-inch thick to really lay virtually flat on your walls. You may also want to check out Gekko and FlatWire products if you’re looking into flat wire.
