Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 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 problemuPVC 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Would a wireless solution be more sensible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 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... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd guess that drilling into a UPVC frame wouldn't do great things to the energy efficiency of the window either, so I'd think that the wireless or 2 cable aproaches would probably be best too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I take it your window frame is sealed gap wise between the upvc frame and a wooden box frame or even the bare granite? If so, you could take the silicon out of both sides, run the cable through and then re-seal with silicon.

James Broonbreed Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Don't forget to keep the cables inside too, otherwise you won't hear the sound in your living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
