When I moved into my house I started pulling runs of low-voltage wire (CAT-5e, RG6, and speaker wire). My house is relatively small and there is only one interior wall that is shared on the first and second floor. There is only one space between studs that doesn't have either electrical or HVAC and it's not on a 16" center but more like an 8".
I might be running new electrical wiring from the basement to the attic and this space is easily accessible. Is there a way to let my low-voltage live harmoniously with the electrical? Can I use conduit? Do I even need to worry about it? I would be running up to four 14/2 lines.
Different area...the spaces where I want to put in-wall speakers have either HVAC or electrical in the same wall space. For the HVAC, the duct terminates on the first floor and does not extend to the second floor. I was planning to run the speaker wire through the hole cut for the ductwork (not inside the duct). Is this ok? The actual speaker would be 5' or 6' above where the duct terminates.
