You did 2 mistakes here. 1st thing : you did not locate any stud behind the drywall.Second, you cannot use regular speaker wire but instead a CL3 or CL2 rated speaker wire. Have a nice day!
Couple of BIG mistakes you made! 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. The worst thing for ceiling speakers is the drywall dust getting in the speaker from installing it or from vibration. You also put the speaker face down in the dust on top of the ladder.
It's a drywall knife...just hold the template to the ceiling with your hand, the double stick tape ruined the paint on the ceiling, why not use your glasses to keep drywall dust out of your eyes? Get a drill with a clutch and run the screws through the speaker bracket half way, it's easier on your shoulders and the clutch keeps the screws from getting too tight. Don't put the speaker upside down on the ladder, you could damage the bezel or the tweeter. You'll eventually get the hang of it.
Hello_ Yes, most people have their homes prewired while it's being built. And if not, their butlers or nanny's should certainly be able to pull wire through the attic while your vacationing in the Hampton's. God forbid you have to be present while your "boy" installs it!
@@okioki1131 your the dummy! If I asked someone to install a ceiling speaker for me do u think they will add the speaker wires to it or just put a speaker in the ceiling and say to me well u didn't ask me to connect any speaker wires to the speakers? 🙄🤦♂️
If the home came prewired with that speaker wire I'd be wary of other shortcuts and things not up to code done to the house. Probably a more useful video would be to share who the builder was to warn other potential home buyers to stay clear.
If my home being built is pre-wired for speakers which are located at the ceiling can I use this same type of round ceiling speaker, or do I need to have speakers that hang from the ceiling? Does anybody have a video for this or some sort of guidance?
Anyone know of a tutorial on how to actually run the wires in the ceiling on the first level of a two-story house?
Having same problem here, how did u do it?
Only way to find out is to know/figure out which way the joists are going. Otherwise, cut a path in drywall.
would have like to see how the wire was run through the cieling.
Wow let's put a speaker in the ceiling. Oh it's our luky day,speaker wire in the exact spot we made the hole!
thanks for the video, will be installing our ceiling speakers this weekend and this gave me the confidence on doing it myself
Love that they left the 1 2 3 go
do you needed to put any sound proof behind the speaker so the sound wont traver to the second floor as much ?
Wow, you cut the hole out and there was a speaker cable there already. What are the odds?
I think he placed it from attic

There's still a gap. And YES, You can use cordless drill. I've installed hundreds of these - never had any drywall breaking or anything.
why is he saying loosen the screw only to tighten them up ?

+Erik Coulombe He's doing us a favor by showing us basic work. You can be more meticulous when you do your own.

why do you loosen the screw only to tighten them up again ?
How did the wires get there? Shouldn't that have been part of the installation process? A speaker without wires is useless.
+lenzcrafters - Most homes come prewired, this is done before gyp-rock is put up. In my house I just tossed wires across my attic.

Not in my neighbourhood they don't. The wiring is the most difficult part of this job and is rarely unvestigated for a retro-fit.

Fyuuuhhhn k nn n kk J jhahaj as makka jjj
If you all know how to do it then why are u watching this video
Good job
Where did the wires come from?
Step 1 buy a house with wires already ran.
Step 2 install speakers.
Step 3 find a different video because this one sucks
Exactly 😂 I was like how the fuck did the wires got there ???
The video says speakers, not speaker wire. DUMBY. He did exactly as advertised.

Just curious what about the studs?

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing. I will be trying to do this soon enough!!!
Still choosing the speakers :)

+Erik Bradley - Both types of speakers hook up to the wire the same way, so you can use either types of speakers
how did you get the speaker wire there already
thank you very much.
I would get him a job with my competition so he puts them out of business!!
How do I know where to put the center of template right into the center of the hole?
1,2,3 go!
Hi! What do you think about UA - Model I?
How to install speakers after the hard part of running the wires is done
You can use cat 5/6 wire to install these right?
Absolutely not
I think he's done this before;)
All highs no lows, it must be bose...
you only show how to wire up at the speaker what about the other end for the music
Ceiling speaker installed. Thanks for w
