it doesn't matter just try to make it look like a nice clean install. for instence cut a small hole in the carpet where the wire begins run the wire underneath the carpet have another small hole to come out of to hook up to the box. that way you won't see most of the wire try to make it look clean.

although speaker level runs aren't near as prone to noise as RCA lines, it is still a good practice to route the speaker leads along with the RCA and keep them away from the power. RF interference is a real Bi-yatch to mess with. If you must cross any power wire, do so at a 90 degree angle.
