Do I pull the speaker wires myself?

absoutely you do.

man up. go to monoprice and get some fat-arse reel of 12g speaker wire. 100ft for $29 or 100ft of 14g for $25. your choice.



then grab you some banana plugs (i assume bose speakers have decent connectors). they're like $1.40 a set or $8 for a 5 pack.



then put on some old clothes & get set to crawl around under your house and/or get a drill to cut a hole in your hardwood where the speaker wires will come up.


while you're on monoprice, might as well pick up some optical cables, F HDMI to F adapters, some HDMI with ethernet cables & other crap for super cheap.


you'll be happy you did it yourself.

just make sure you measure first to see how much speaker wire you need, then buy about 25% more than you think you need because you need some slack behind the components to move them around and if you're like me, you always tend to cut the speaker wires too short.
