Choosing a strategic location for the Ghost Wire can affect its visibility. I tried to butt it against corners, door frames, and base board to minimize its visibility.
Likes: It gets the job done without needing to drill through walls, floors, or ceilings and then "fish" for speaker wire behind the wall or between joists; After working out the first connection to a terminal, the rest of them were easy to do; When I connected my speakers, it worked the first time and I have had no problems with the sound; Without doing any feathering or texturing, It took a coat of paint and matched the existing wall color perfectly (I have to point out the tape to people in order to get them to notice that it's there.)
Dislikes: Although we had freshly painted walls (professionally done), the adhesive likes to come loose in a few places even though it was thoroughly pressed against the wall upon installation (It's not the worst thing in the world but I don't like to see any gap between the tape and the wall); I needed a little more Ghost Wire than was on the 100' reel so I ordered another 25' which is not on a reel and had a lot more bubbling (didn't easily lay flat on the wall); At over a buck per linear foot, it is a bit too pricey to use in every room; the folded corners do have a tendency to stand out, literally.
NOTE: You still need speaker wire to run from the terminals to the speakers (I have wall mounted speakers and use about 1 foot of regular wire per speaker) and from the terminals on the other end to the amplifier or other source. If you order banana plugs (either solid or braided wire) with the terminals, the plugs do not fit into the holes in the terminals and you have to use bare wire. If they would manufacture the terminals with slightly larger holes, it would be excellent. Maybe someday they will.

Big letdown, really wanted to like this.
So I decided to do things right, which meant I skipped buying the cheapest m0n0 price self adhesive ribbon speaker wire, and I skipped the next one Fr@nk lys . SO why is your product 3x as much as the cheapest and 2x as the next one down? I thought clearly it meant superior product right?? But noooo. Only 2 minutes after firmly pressing down the tape on my already clean and dry walls, i started hearing the dreading peeling crackling sound just slowly going on for several minutes. I'm like are you on or you off? Make up your mind! SO I just wanted to wait it out, for review purposes. It lasted a full 7 minutes before completely unraveling itself. So I pushed it back, pressing it harder and waited, that came off in about 3 minutes.What is the point if it won't stick at all?So I then had to carefully roll it back to fit in the hole provided in the box so I could send this back for return. I'm hoping the return is accepted, I'm sorry that it can't work out. I tried.Unfortunately, I'll be going with the nail clips which are a bit more time consuming but will be permanent. But fortunately, it will look a lot cleaner and I won't need to paint it, (so not really longer) since my moulding is also white. if I decide to sell the house, the next person will be treated to pre wired home theatre.Sewell makes some good quality products. I bought their banana plugs and I think they were easy to use and had a nice package to keep them stored for later. I just think this one is a big miss, but will continue wiht their other products.

I recently redid a room and needed to run surround sound. It wasn’t planned initially so I had to find something that would run under a rug pad and rug. I searched and found Ghost Wire! Is it a bit pricey? Yes. Is it freaking worth it? Hell yeah! It’s super flat, the copper is a nice thickness and it’s STICKY! If your surface is not clean, it won’t stick well. Have a clean surface? It’s not coming off without some damage - KEEP THIS IN MIND!!
Used this along a painted concrete floor. Worked exceptionally. Easy to install and put in place. I now have surround sound and you can’t even tell it’s there!
You must use the connecting block! It’s designed to connect the flat wire to your speaker wire. Don’t cheap out.
Highly recommend this if you need super flat, hidden wire.

Really easy to install the tape. We replaced our carpet and installed vinyl flooring so I wanted to hide all my speaker wires. Just to be on the safe side I sanded all the areas where the wire would stick to, but probably not necessary. Then I taped it all down with sticky masking tape so it would not more during the flooring install - again, probably not necessary. After flooring was in I installed the terminal blocks on top of the baseboard. They were challenging because the adhesive is sooooo sticky but I got it done. All works and sounds great!
