LOOK for THIS feature - HOW TO INSTALL In-wall Speakers!

When building a home theater system or a home audio system using in wall speakers is perfect for keeping speakers hidden and out of the way while still getting great sound! I find in-wall speakers work especially well for the surround sound speakers in a home theater system giving you those added surround effects but without having wires all over the floor or speakers in the middle of your room in the way. But when picking in wall speakers I like to make sure they have a nice robust mounting solution. Let's take a look at the install of these speakers as I continue my home theater build project.

I meant to mention this in the comments if your last video. I've actually been to Crutchfield headquarters and met a lot of the people there. They are great people.

For a neater hole in your drywall, cut the outline with a straight edge and a sharp utility knife first. Score deeply by doing a few passes and then saw just inside the line. Nice straight edges and prevents overcuts like the top left corner of marks hole.

[@whiskeyweekly7533]

Hell yes, I love this home theater stuff.

[@randallbaker9055]

Mark you truly make a very hi quality video man I have told plenty of my customers that want to diy there car audio to check out your channel to take it has even helped just my customers that still have me install to pic there system sometimes it can be hard to lead a horse to water. Keep up the good work

[@SuperDaddyruss]

It's turning out awesome man.

[@zoninor-cal9796]

Looks great mark

What happened to the f150 bulid

[@kawlreaper]

Please make a video about installing ceiling speakers on a popcorn (textures) ceiling!

[@dylanbloomingburgh7378]

As a home audio installer if you have a circle speaker, chances are you’ll have a template with the speakers. Find your location to install, tape the template to the ceiling draw and outline with a non permanent marker. I usually make an x in the center to find the center point. Drill a hole for the center point then use an oscillating multi tool and cut along the lines on the x to the perimeter of the speaker outline. I usually cut about 8-10 lines and then break the pieces out. Use a drywall saw to fine the edges. This is not for a beginner installer it’s very easy to make the plaster chip or over cut or break part of the ceiling along the edge of your cutout causing a bad eye sore if not properly repaired. On top of possibly hitting other electrical lines or joists in the ceiling. Approach this type of work with extreme caution

[@PacedFast]

Have you ever done a Big 3 Upgrade video?

[@BadDFWDrivers]

How did you decide on the height? It seems too high to me.

[@FSXgta]

Rear and side speakers can get a better effect being above. Since if you have them close to ear level people in the middle seat might be obstructed

[@smurfjones66]

Hey I would like to request a video? Can you do a video about how to read the data chart of like a mid speaker so I know what would sound good with out blowing them I seen the video u did while back about taking fs ×2 and starting with that but idk bout the high fq cut off I get confused when trying to read the feq. Chart thanks in advance

[@denniswalker1640]

Maybe someone else is running rear subs ,and having blending issues, maybe Mark can do a show on this ??? Love the vids ??!!

[@SuperDaddyruss]

Have you checked out new record days loud speaker optimization techniques video very detailed info on doing sub crawl to blend subs. I just went from Dayton 100s to monolith 15s..... never too much clean bass right..

[@antariusb]

Are you going to do a video on your tower speakers

[@adamsdiyandrandomvids5379]

Hey mark I have a question for you can you design a sixth order wall build for a Car

[@BalaOn360]

HI There! Is it possible to connect TWO Line Output Converter? One for an Active Sub and one for an AMP dual-channel in an Stock Radio? The car is an Peugeot 208 GTI Best Regards

[@MUNDOGG_09]

ive got a question: if i would like to add 4 inch bullet tweeters in a car audio could i install them directlly to the 4channel amp or would i need a crossover component like the ones from a speaker set?

[@jackdurden466]

Hi, I’m a veteran car audio installer/fabricator myself, and anytime you have a speaker that you don’t want to play sounds that not only would sound awful, but also potentially damage the speakers themselves you absolutely need a crossover. The ones that he has on those are called “passive” crossovers. The other and better(I believe personally) are active crossovers and they are powered with your amplifier and have rca inputs that go from the amplifier to the crossover. They determine what frequencies go out of which amplifier and to which speakers. I hope that helps. If you ever get further into it you can actually learn to build your own passive crossover with some basic parts, but I’d say just go with a set of higher end like MB Quart, OZ Audio, etc. they’re easy to install and work fantastically! Best of luck!

[@adamhocking2194]

Hi Mark, Unrelated to this video, but I have a question I hope you can answer. I have an audiocontrol Lc6i out to a kenwood X802-5 amp. When setting the gains, do I set the audiocontrol RCA output to match the input max of the amp which is 5v? On top of this, Do I still need to use ohms law to work out and set the correct voltage on my speaker inputs as well?

[@denniswalker1640]

Sweet,bud, I'm a audiofile too, that means I also do home audio , nice set up Mark, but being a basshead, I have one twelve in the front , and two tens per channle in the rear, i found by running rear subs, you run into phasing issues, for a good blend, but regardless, hell yeah!!

[@klubstompers]

Run em 180 out. I have 2 cabinets with 15"s, behind me on the floor with a 12" krk sub in between them, and 2 pairs of Klipsch dual 8" R-28F's in front. I switch my KRK 180 degrees out of phase, so the wav's dont cancel each other out. If that doesn't work for you, you could try hooking up a good DSP to fine tune the low freq's.

[@denniswalker1640]

@@klubstompers oh yeah, I was talking about if anyone else runs into canceling issues, but yup!!

[@klubstompers]

​@@denniswalker1640 Oh, got cha!!

[@Tormentor1985]

Are they just as easy to remove from te drywall as they go in? Just in case you move out of the house and want to take the speakers with you

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yep super easy. Just have to patch the drywall obviously

[@NaturalBBler]

7.1.2 System ??

[@rockytoptech1308]

I had no idea they even made in wall speakers....how do they receive power??? A DC input in the back with a cord that has to be plugged in somewhere???

[@bloodth987]

If it's not Active speakers with built in Amp then it's just speaker wires to a external Amplifier.

[@rockytoptech1308]

@@bloodth987 translation??? I know nothing about audio equipment.

[@ryanstroeder7908]

@@rockytoptech1308 the speakers are powered by a receiver. connected by speaker wire. power comes from receiver.

[@rockytoptech1308]

@@ryanstroeder7908 ahhh ha! Thank you but isn't the receiver wireless? I mean in a car I know no of course not but on a home entertainment system the receiver would be whatever is used to control the speakers. I'm still lost, God help me!

[@northwiebesick7136]

@@rockytoptech1308 those wires he ran in the wall go from the receiver to the speakers, and usually the receiver, if it's a good quality one, will have enough built-in amplifier power to work pretty well, although some setups might need more power than provided, in which case you would treat it like a car and add an amplifier in between the system and the speakers I reckon... Also, the wires on that type of setup would carry both signal, and power, which in that case would technically be the same thing, as opposed to a speaker with a built-in amplifier, which just moves the electronics into the speaker, as opposed to the audio receiver end... As to your question, yes, the prebuilt systems CAN be wireless, but he's talking about a permanent setup, which would be based on exactly the same principle as car audio, and as far as I know, any setup like what he's doing with in wall speakers, would have to be wired...
