Are you talking about just regular zip cord style cable, or special flat speaker cable? I've had regular zip cord (the clear many-stranded stuff intended for speakers) under a carpet for 40 years and it's fine, never got around to running it through the basement. It might be slightly visible where the wire runs, depending on the carpet and padding. That's probably the reason for the special flat cable, like maybe from Monster Cable?

Has anyone done this?
