I suppose I could test the amp and short it out.

I imagine the amp has short circuit protection. If not it could set a
fire. Probably not too likely.

I hope I found the correct numbers, 100 Watts continuous, music power
output is 167 watts.

Maybe I'm too paranoid about starting a fire. Now that I think about
it, of all the damaged customer premise Cat 5 that I've seen I've never
noticed any indication that it almost caught fire.

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?

I used some copper foil and tape once. It was a product I got at a
stereo store long ago.
Worked forever.

I need to run some speaker cables under a carpet but worry about the
long term effects of foot traffic and shorting the wire. Has anyone
done this?
