This
article will give you all the information you may need for installing your “In Wall Speakers.” What if I say, you don’t really have to be a technician to install them?
You may be thinking I am out of my mind but with a little bit of guidance and
some basic tools, you will be able to impress your friends. People already are
trying to save as much space as they can. It looks as if it is a concern of
everybody these days. People are getting rid of their old fashioned and bulky
speakers by changing them with In Wall Speakers for their stereo systems. This
not only helps them save their floor space, but they also find it a little more
aesthetic in comparison.
First
of all, you need to see if there are any rules and regulations set by the local
authorities that may require any permit to change the structure like ceilings
and walls of your residence? After going through all that processes, you must
first check the layout of your house so that you can know the number and
positions of studs used in the proposed place of installation. As a thumb rule,
studs are kept 16 inches apart from each other. After marking exact locations
of these studs, you can begin with your installation works. Caution: Do not
damage studs as they can be supporting the structure.
When
it comes to installing audio wires... the most popular among all is the push-pin
style. You will need a pair of easily distinguishable wires (red and white) to
push them in place according to their polarities. Red it used to denote
positive while white is used to denote negative polarity. Always mark wires so
that you can know where the wire is heading! These wires should be fixed firmly
with the studs at a distance of every 3 feet.
In
Wall Speakers will normally go not more than 3.5 inches into the wall to
accommodate the standard 2/4 studs used in most of the residential buildings.
What is needed to be known here is that if you are installing these speakers in
condominiums or townhouses, you will need specialized In Wall Speakers which
require less space in wall. The reason is that, there are 2/3 studs used in
these particular places.
Strange but
true! What most of the people overlook at the time of their planning is what is
on the other side of the wall? Do not forget that sound is going to penetrate
not only the front side of the wall, but also the back side of it. Make sure
the adjoining room at the back side of that wall is not the place where you
don’t want that sound to go!
You can also make that room sound proof! You can use certain products like Polk to isolate the place where you are installing your sound system. Polk is also known as performance enclosure due to its application. It is wide enough to fit the 16 inches gap between the studs so that it can work as a sound-barrier.
