thanks hopkin and sirquack. now if i wanted to go with the flat wire would i still need those rods to push the flat wire under the carpet.
also, instead of buying those rods, could i contact someone that has them like an electrician or something and have him do it like that? Are there like, "Home theater electricians" or what? Thanks for listening to my stupid questions, lol.

In my past home, we put the flat wire down, before they installed the carpet/pad. I think I even put duct tape over it to help protect it some more. You have to remember, when people are going to be walking over the top of these locations. Personally, I'm not a big fan of running any wiring where there could by high traffic areas. I the wiring gets damaged you have to remove the carpeting to fix it.

Another option you might consider is http://www.cableorganizer.com They make low profile cable raceway's or sometimes called wiremold. I bought some 1/2" x 1.5" material to run my Component/HDMI cables across the ceiling to my projector. It is white and paintable. They make various sizes designed to go along walls/corners/ceilings. Just another idea. Home Depot and other stores also offers similar products in their electrical aisle. They have adhesive backing and a latching enclosure to hide the wires. Then you could mount the surrounds to the ceiling
