I'm about to begin installing my hardwood floors in my condo, and was comtemplating how I could get my speaker wire across the room for my surround sound set up (previously I was running underneath the carpet).

Then it occurred to me: just run the wires in the 1/2" gap between the flooring-walls left for expansion!!

Would this work? I know that that gap is so that the floor may expand in different temperatures, but will that 1/2" be enough to allow for expansion with those 2 skinny speaker wires running through there??

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
