Velvet, send me a PM and I would be happy to help you, along with removing the wires, you need to label the polarity, and which speaker and the location of the speaker (painters' tape and a magic marker). Then once the new flooring is installed, I can help with the reinstallation if necessary. I am guessing the wires are hidden under the molding above the carpet, if this is the case and the installers use quarter round you will need to think about the wires as these will now be visible.
If you are after an installation with all of the wiring hidden, you may want to contact one of the local audio visual companies and get an estimate for the new wiring. Feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss further over the phone.
