Speaker Wire Run - Access Crawl Space In Ceiling from Vent?
I'm looking for some help in running some speaker wire in my celing for some ATMOS speakers for my home theater. The crawl space above the room is not accessible form other parts of the attatic in the house.
There are two air ducts run to the ceiling of the room through holes connecting the main attic crawl space to that room. The intake duct is pretty large (24 x 24 inches). Would I be able to remove the plate and disconnect the flexible duct temporarily to get up in there and then reconnect? Or do I need to add an access panel / and or just fix the ceiling drywall and re-texture?
I don't think the holes from the speakers will be big enough to see up there and grab wire being run up either.
I would just cut a hole and patch, but matching the ceiling texture and paint is not the easiest thing to do.
All advice is welcome, thank you.
