HOW - Cutting Wall/Ceiling Opening for Speakers

HOW - CUTTING WALL/CEILING OPENING FOR SPEAKER

The following steps outline how to locate a section of wall between two studs, mark the outer boundaries of the hole, drill a small hole in the center to verify the location and then cut the main hole.

1Determine the location of the studs so the speaker can be centered approximately between them. There are several ways to go about this:

•Use a stud finder, a simple electronic device which works by locating changes in wall density. Many stud finders can also indicate the presence of live AC wiring.

•Tap on the ceiling and listen to the resulting “THUMP.” When it’s deeper and hollow sounding, you’re between studs. When it’s sharper and more flat sounding, you’re close to or over a stud.

•Identify studs by the position of electrical outlets or switches. There may be a stud directly to the left or right of such electrical fixture. This gives you a point of meas- urement since studs are either 24 or 16 inches on cen- ter in newer houses, 12 inches apart on older homes.

2When you’re reasonably sure of where the ceiling studs are (and are completely sure there isn’t an electri-

cal cable, water pipe, or heating duct in that vicinity of wall), position the cardboard mounting template, and draw around its outer perimeter with a pencil. If you don’t trust your eye, use a level to make sure the hole will be straight.

3Drill a 1-inch hole in the center of the pencil out- line which you have just drawn, just deep enough to fully penetrate the wallboard.

4Obtain a length of stiff wire such as a straightened wire coat hanger. Bend it so that the last 6 or 8 inches is at a right angle to the rest.

5Insert the angled part into the 1-inch hole you just drilled and probe to left and right to confirm that a stud is not too close on either side. Move the wire around in a circular motion to check clearances above and below the hole as well.

•If there is a stud too close on one side, reposition the cardboard template a few inches in the opposite direc- tion, and re-draw your pencil outline, keeping the 1-inch hole within the pencil outline’s inner boundaries.
