Installing ceiling speakers provides sound around your home.
A home entertainment center provides you with a way to enjoy movies, music and games. Installing flush mount ceiling speakers can be esthetically appealing and won't occupy your room's floor space. This type of speaker utilizes the wall cavity, as its box and the wires are hidden behind the drywall. Mounting the speakers into the drywall requires some attention to detail and a little understanding of how a wall is constructed.
Instructions
1. Run the stud finder along the ceiling and mark the location of the ceiling joists with a pencil. You will need to install your in-wall speaker between the wood joists.
2. Hold the speaker template against the drywall, between the joists, and outline the marked cutout section on the wall.
3. Push the drywall saw into the drywall on the cutout line. Cut along the line by moving the saw back and forth. Pull the drywall section from the wall with your hands.
4. Pull the pre-wired speaker wire from behind the wall and strip 3/8 inch of insulation from each conductor.
5. Push open the red positive terminal on the back of the speaker and insert the red wire. Push open the negative terminal on the back of the speaker and insert the black wire.
6. Insert the speaker into the drywall cutout. Turn the fastening cams on each speaker corner with a screwdriver. Doing this tightens the speaker to the drywall.
