Some people think that since these speakers are built inside the wall, they are not as good as normal speakers but it is not true. Speakers built inside the wall can provide you with music as good as normal speakers as they are specially engineered for this purpose. These speakers can be installed in both old and new houses.



Before installing an in wall speaker you must first decide the location since location is very important to get the best quality sound. You might want to place the speakers in a room where you like to listen to music the most, for instance your living room or your bedroom. You can install speakers in different rooms of your house simultaneously as well.

Once you decide you want built in speakers, you must also decide on the kind of sound effect you want. You may settle for two speakers that give a stereo effect or opt for a surround sound effect, which will require five speakers. You can even opt to have more than five speakers but irrespective of the number of speakers used, all speakers should be similar.

It would be wise to place the in wall speakers at ear level, which is usually forty inches from the ground. After deciding the location it is important to check the supporting wall for reverberation. There maybe obstructions in the desired wall, in which case the speaker will have to be placed few inches over the obstruction.

While planning the location, keep in mind that each speaker should have a minimum distance of six to ten feet from another speaker. You should be very careful about this while installing multiple speakers. To get the best possible sound quality the speakers should be placed a minimum three feet from the ground.

Though you can also install it on your own, it would be best to hire a professional for this job. A professional can install these speakers in the best way possible so that you do not have to face any problems in the future. After having the in wall speakers installed you can simply paint the wall with any colour you want.
