Hi,

Very noddy question as i know naff all about electrics! i've moved into a house that has cables under the floor coming out of each corner which I assume were for surround sound speakers - and hey it's all about the soundbar these days, right? ;-)

Just wanted to know whether i could cut these down so they protrude a little less without risking anything untoward happening?

Thanks in advance :-)

Ideally you need to prove that the cables are dead. As the ends are bare and have no doubt touched each other (and nothing has gone bang) then I would say do as you see fit.
