When building a media room or finishing a basement that
includes plans for a home theater system it’s wise to plan your in-wall
speaker system. Over the years when I’ve built home additions or remodeled
basements I’ve always wired speaker wire and speaker outlets in both the
walls and ceilings. I always make sure to have a sense of where the media or
home theater system could be located in the media room or renovated
basement. |
I then run speaker wires from where the home theater electronics is expected
to reside to the various locations in the room where the ceiling and in-wall
speakers would most likely want to be located.
When planning your ceiling and in-wall speaker system you also want to think
about locating the speakers in non-conspicuous areas. Ceiling mounted speakers
are always a great solution. Likewise near floor level in-wall speaker mountings
are also a great solution.

Another item to consider when planning your in-wall speaker system is how many
zones do you want to have? For example if your plans include in-wall speakers in
many of the rooms of the home, you may want 2 or 3 speaker zones. Likewise if
you have a very large room you may also want to have 2 or more zones. This way
multiple sources can feed the different speaker zones. As a result, music played
in a bathroom can be different than what’s played in the entertainment room.
