In-Ceiling Speaker Installation

We recently built our home and had it prewired for surround sound in the family room. The builders put junction boxes on the studs where the speakers would go. We had trouble finding any details on how we could install the speakers on our own with these junction boxes being on the stud and not have to cut into the ceiling joist/stud. We definitely did not want to leave the plate cover on the ceiling and put the speakers somewhere else on the ceiling!
So we decided since we were able to do it ourselves then we would make this video to help anyone looking to do this on their own. It saved us plenty of money and is not hard to do.
If you are a little hesitant to cut into your ceiling or wall then stop by your local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowe's and then get a 4x4 or small scrap piece of sheetrock and practice on it first.
We got our speakers from Monoprice.com.

I can't thank you enough for this video. My prewire by my builder was exactly the same, with the wire boxes in the wall. I had no idea how I was going to get speakers in there when the directions said to steer clear of studs. Your directions worked perfectly. Thank you!

Thank you sooooo much for this video. This is my second house with speakers throughout but my first time to try installing the speakers myself. My installation is exactly like yours with the gang boxes. This will save me a lot of $$$$. Professional installers are anywhere from $75-$100 an hour. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge!!

Just about to tackle this project & this video is very helpful. Now I feel confident I can make the cut out even with the junction box in the way! Thanks.

Wow! Excellent video. I appreciated your step-by-step approach and the level of detailed provided. I was going to pay a company to install and calibrate my new 7.2 system for $4000. I think now, I can handle it myself!

I just followed these instructions to install 5.1 and 6 additional rooms worth of this speaker: Pyle Home PDIC81RD 8-Inch Two-Way In-Ceiling Speaker. Worked perfectly. My home was pre-wired almost exactly the same way. Thumbs up

OH! Okay. Not level as in "not crooked", but more that it's in the same position relative to the walls. Gotcha. And thank you again! I did use your technique to successfully install my ceiling speakers this weekend.

Thanks! The laser level was used to shoot a line from one speaker to the other to make sure both were at the same level and were even with one another.

Good video. Nice and easy to understand, and the fact that you made a little mistake by drawing your template over the joist shows you're still learning too, but the video showed how easy it is even if you're not exactly sure what your doing.

Monoprice in-ceiling speakers, rear speakers are 6", front speakers are 8" angled - They sound great to us! No problems, we use them with an Onkyo receiver.

Thanks for the video. Now did the 6" speakers cover the existing hole for the junction box as well as the 8" speakers?
@doctorwizz1
@doctorwizz1 8 лет назад
You should clean the drywall dust inside the hole with a damp rag. The cut edge of the dry wall should be covered with masking tape to keep drywall dust out of the speaker. The worst thing for ceiling speakers is the drywall dust getting in the speaker from installing it or from vibration.

stu.pi.d. people. this is not safety installation. who care if they wearing "wherever" you are to stupid someone to tell you everything, to stu.pi.d to telling you how to clamping ladders.. use tools.. *videos are made are you own risk, wherever happened to you or your project. *if you are not enough smarter. . just hire a professional. *always people to smart comments about safety. . WOULD BE SMART TO SAYS.. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL.

3) If possible, probe in the ceiling before you cut. You can do this through the junction box. Not sure if there is a better way, but I used a wire hanger and an iPhone. If there is not insulation, you can stick an iPhone into the junction box and take pictures or a video of what is inside the ceiling. I did this after the first one and it worked perfect every time. I found another water pipe in a picture I took with my iPhone probing and was able to plan around it.

Thank you for a nice video. My building is providing a 5.1 surround sound installed for $1200 in a new home. Paradigm. Can you tell me if this is a good deal or just have them pre-wire for $599 and buy speakers and install myself. Is it really worth the hassle to DIY.
@msd0060
@msd0060 10 лет назад
I have the same exact situation. Do you think an 8" speaker would encompass the whole box cutout like your 6.5" speaker did? For some reason I think the larger speaker would not cover the 2 corners closest to the joist.

helpful video man. inspired me to hook utilize my prewired home. couple of questions. how do i know what gauge is the wire? its clear one side has solid white line to differ. i have 4 satellite speaker set up..this makes it 5.1 set up right? all the gathered wires are not labelled how do i know left to right, rear to front speakers to designate. thanks again man. we appreciate the video

@poe1771 You're welcome! Glad it helped, and hope that you were able to do your own! It saves a lot of money!
@CarolineIris247
@CarolineIris247 11 лет назад
Well that depends on your 2 front speaker locations? Is your tv going to be wall mounted or sitting on a tv stand? Typically you want your Left, Right, Center at the same height (typically at about the same level as your tv) because a majority of your volume comes from your center speaker (dialogue, etc).

Nice work! Our house is prewired too but I have no idea where those wires terminate in our family room. Did your builder give you a blueprint? Was the opposite end of your wire already setup with an AV wall plate at your media center location by the builder? Or did you open up a hole for all the converging wires too? I suppose I just need to ask them.
@CarolineIris247
@CarolineIris247 12 лет назад
You're welcome! Yes, you should be able to see they were covered in the the video.
@saduniguruge5565
@saduniguruge5565 11 лет назад
This was very helpful. I have the same thing. Prewired. Now that we know how to install in wall, can you help us with the next step. Like connecting the cable to receiver . pretty much the whole step...after you install 5 speakers in wall...

Hi there, The mounting bracket or as you mentioned it "feet" broke on my ceiling speaker. Can you please give a suggestion where to buy those "feet" or plastic mounting bracket? Those are the L-shaped plastic bracket that hold the speaker in place FYI...

@CarolineIris247
@CarolineIris247 11 лет назад
Oh ok, they should be fine then. I would just put the center channel on the tv stand where the TV is. What kind of receiver / amplifier are you going to be using?

@koa218 The wires all converted into a double gang hole behind where our entertainment center is. The wires were not labeled though so had to play around a bit to see which wire was to each speaker. I also used banana clips on the ends of the wires to make plugging in easier. Buy them off of Monoprice...very cheap and easy to install.

@CarolineIris247 13 лет назад
@koa218 You will probably need to go up in your attic if you dont know where the wires are now and there arent any faceplates. Our builder installed junction box with faceplates at our location. We also knew where they were because we selected the approximate location and watched the building process.
@dancevids23
@dancevids23 11 лет назад
correction on my question on the satelitte speaker. my builder have 4 prewired and precut drywall (just like in your video) to the living room set up 2 front 2 rears. the center channel just sits infront of the tv right. so i shouldnt have 5 precut drywall/prewire to qualify for 5.1 surround?
