In ceiling/wall installation

I picked out where the speakers would go- the circular rounds would go with the round lights to act as rear speakers, while the rectangulars would go in-wall for my surrounds. The speakers had templates to show where to cut, so it was just tracing a circle and cutting out the drywall. I also pulled out some insulation to give the rear of the speaker a bigger area to work. I hadn't pulled the speaker wire through the ceiling for the rears when the drywall was going up, even though it was run up to the attic space. So, the boys and I took the opportunity to add some additional attic lights, while wearing our headlamps and 'caving' our way to the theater area of the house. We got the lights working- the boys staying up to wire the speaker as I passed it to them from below.

For the sides, I wanted them lower than where I had put the wire- so we had to cut new holes fairly low in the 45 degree wall and fish the wire down to them. I really like the installation method of the Polks- quite secure. Steff painted the ceiling speakers, but will do the in-walls right on the wall, since I have some drywall repair (the former speaker hole) which will require repainting later.
