Suspend Ceiling Sound Systems







Home surround sound systems have progressed from huge, treble-heavy speaker systems to smaller, bass-booming, ground-shaking smaller, more modern speaker systems. With this progression and the ever-increasing number of speakers included with some systems, it has become necessary to be creative when it comes to figuring out where the speakers should go. If you are cramped for space, consider suspending the speakers from your ceiling with a ceiling speaker mount kit.


Instructions


1. Hold the speaker mount up to the spot on the ceiling where you want it and use a pencil to mark the spots for the anchor screw holes.


2. Drill holes for the anchor screws using a power drill, and then grab the screws that came with the speaker mount and reposition the mount over the holes.


3. Screw the speaker mount to your ceiling using a power drill or screwdriver with the included screws. Once secure, grab the speaker you will be connecting to the mount and position it where it needs to go.








4. Secure the speaker to the mount using the default method for your specific mount. They will be connected to each other using the keyhole on the back of the speaker, but whether or not screws are used to secure them to each other will vary between mounts.


5. Route your speaker wires along the ceiling using a staple gun (recommended) or masking tape to secure them in place, and then repeat these steps for any other speakers in your sound system.
