Default hiding speaker wire

i need a way to hide speaker wire for my home theater system. i need to run the rear left and right speakers but i dont want to hang it from the celling or run it across the rug with some sort of covering.

see the green line? i can run it right there where the rug and linoleum meets if i had a covering.

do they make something like that?

Can you go under the floor? and then thread it up inside the wall?

Isnt there a little thingy that separates the rug from the linoleum? It goes over the edge of the carpet and looks like a little ramp. Can you unscrew that and run the wire under that or the edge of the carpet?

or, you can use flat speaker wire with an adhesive backing:

if using those flat cables, make sure nothing heavy is placed on top. it can cause static if the inner wires separate
