I am trying to install a home theater in my den. I have to outlets on one wall containing speaker wires but cannot find where they go. Is there a way to trace these wires through the walls or ceiling? apparently the contractor drywalled the outlets in. Thank you Virdanco

You can use a Tone Generator to find the wire. Home Depot has one for about $90.
