Mount A Ceiling Speaker

You can mount speakers in the ceiling


A home audio system is a great way to enjoy your favorite movies, music, sports and television shows in a broader sound spectrum than the basic, two-speaker system. Sometimes, speakers can get in the way or flow against a room's aesthetic appearance. A creative and unassuming solution is to mount speakers in the ceiling.


Instructions


1. Place a step ladder underneath the area of the ceiling you want to install the speaker. Climb the ladder and trace the circumference of the speaker onto the ceiling with the pencil, leaving out the areas of the speaker with screw holes in it.


2. Drill a hole in the middle of the traced area using the large drill bit. Fit the tip of the hand saw into the hole and begin sawing out the area you traced. Make sure to cut the edges as closely as possible to the line you drew with the pencil.


3. Place the speaker into the hole and drill through the mounting holes using the small drill bit. Set the speaker aside and drill out the holes you just made, using the medium drill bit. Carefully tap a wall anchor into each hole using a hammer, until each anchor is flush with the ceiling.


4. Place the speaker back into the hole and drive screws through the speaker's mounting holes and into the anchors. This secures and mounts the speaker. If the speaker came with a covering, secure it at this time.
