Remodeling Expenses provides homeowners with accurate cost information on home services and level the playing field for consumers and service professionals. We aim to have data on all US zip codes, so homeowners from all over the country can lookup accurate and up to date pricing information.

Drill a small 0. If everything looks cool, you can start carving the full speaker cutout. Use the template that came with the speaker, align and mark the cutout lightly with a pencil, and have at it. You can also use this opportunity to send a fiberglass push rod or snake down or up to make sure your wires will make it all the way to the top or bottom plate without running into blocking or other obstructions.
Cut this exploratory rectangle with beveled edges, with the point of the blade pointing toward the center of the speaker location as you move around.
If you need to change your speaker location, the piece you cut out will fit into the hole like a lid and make for easier drywall repair. Running the Speaker Wires There are four choices for installing speaker wires.
As mentioned, you can run them overhead through an attic space or beneath the floor if you have a basement or crawl space. But you can also remove the baseboards, cut a channel into the drywall with a utility knife, run the wires, and then replace the baseboards. The drywall holes only need to be 1 inch high and wide enough to expose the stud. Typically, or gauge wire works well for most installations up to feet.
Beyond that, use or gauge wire, which is larger in diameter. Installing the Speakers If you want to paint the frames and grilles to match the walls, do so before you install them. Always use spray paint or a sprayer and mask the speaker components. Most in-wall speakers use four or six dog-leg clamps to secure the speaker to the wall.
Some are two-piece designs, so the frame attaches separately to the wall with clamps, and the speaker locks or screws into the frame later. Consider installing insul-ation R in the wall cavity behind the speakers to improve sound quality.
