Tips for Running Speaker Cable Outside


Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

I'm looking for any insight anyone has into running cable from an amp inside to some permanently installed outside speakers.

 

Some info:

 

I don't have an attic.

The walls are thick and made of granite, therefore drilling is a problem

uPVC windows, so perhaps something can be done there?

 

This is likely to be a semi-temporary arrangement until we bother to get the garden properly done and re-assessed, however it would be useful if it a) wasn't an eyesore and b) was permanent enough that the weather is not going to fuck with it meantime.

 

Assistance/comments/advice please! :up:

Speaker cable is kinda bulky to be drilling a hole in a window frame isn't it?

If you can't sort out a wireless solution you could Use 2 sets of cables? One set to a handy door and keep separate cables for outside on a spool maybe? Wouldn't take 2 mins to connect at the window and run them out to the speakers...

Wireless isn't an option given the hardware I have and I would then still have to power something outside which I'd rather not be burdened with.

 

Wasn't planning on drilling into the window but maybe trying do something at the vent/seal? Will probably go for colb's suggestion and set it up so the speakers are permanently placed but I just plug them in to use them outside with the cables being suitably placed internally so they can be lobbed out a window or whatever. Until we get THE PROFESSIONALS in anyway.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, guyz! Posirep coming your way.
