You simply connect positive cable (usually red or white) to the positive input and negative cable (black or red) to the negative input. Check your speaker instructions to see how you "tap" the speakers. Depending on what amplifier you use you could be using the 70v setting 100v setting or 8ohm setting.

Would like to see a wire fished through the wall and also how you measured exactly how to get the speakers in right place. This usually is a two man job. One in attic, other marking the location below, and then they have to check for studs before drilling.

Thank you for the video. But, you kind of cheated there... :-) How did you know the exact location to start cutting the ceiling from the bottom, and also, from the top?
@100rrh4 жыл бұрын
not sure how he did it but I heard a great tip in that you should drill a small hole where you w ant to put it then put a coat wire through and observe the location on the other side to make sure all is well. I think he also could have just cut from the attic space down and not cut from the ceiling up. I'm installing these and I have a large attic like this and I might do that.
@OneMe2RuleUAll2 жыл бұрын
Depends on if your house is prewired. If it's prewired then you already have a small hole. If you do, stick a wire hanger or similar up there and feel around for a stud.

Im planning on buying 2 pioneer car speakers Can i use car speakers as in ceiling atmos speakers ? Any tips how can i ensure it does not fall ? And is it a good idea to use them for my home theater ? They are 2 way speakers and offer pretty good frequency response (33hz-44khz)for their price Reference : PIONEER TS-D69F
@MegaSafetyFirst2 жыл бұрын
Car speakers do not have the same kind of attachment points / wings as ceiling speakers. In case the ceiling is drywall, I don’t know if screwing the speakers to it will hold up.
