In Wall Speaker Installation

In-wall speakers are mostly designed in such a way that it is easy to install in both new and existing buildings. It is better to hire a professional installer, as the installer is well versed in the various tricks and shortcuts involved in the process. The tools used for in-wall speaker installation include electric saber saw, electric drill, drill bits, a sharp utility knife, and a standard wire snake.

There are mainly seven steps involved in in-wall speaker installation. The first step is to decide the location where the speaker is to be installed. If an obstruction (such as a wall stud) is found, the speaker should be mounted several inches above the obstruction. Usually, professional installers tap horizontally across the wall surface and check for reverberation of supporting wall. Once these processes are over, the point of installation is marked.

The second step is to drill an exploration hole of half inch in the bay center. This hole pierces through the wall and reaches the back side. The third step is to recheck measurements of speaker and make hole for speaker accordingly. Then place the paper template of the speaker (obtained along with speaker model) on the wall surface very close to the point where the speaker is about to be mounted. Cut out pattern is drawn and using a key-hole saw, cut out section from the wall is removed.

The next step is to drill a hole up into the stud bay, which is the portion between two wall studs of specific measurement. After this, the speaker wires are snaked through to the cut-out from the audio equipment location. Next is to insert its end into the drilled hole in order to make the wire reach the wall portion. The sixth step is to push the snaked wire to the cut out and the final step is to place the speaker in the cut-out wall portion and the wires are attached to the speaker.

In general, in-wall speaker installation in new buildings is done during the construction phase. Otherwise, more time is required. In case of older buildings, time is needed to drill holes and it also depends on the materials used in the construction of the walls.
