your speaker locations using the templates as guides. Then, drill a small pilot hole in the middle of your circle and then use a stiff wire bent at a 90 degree angle (an old wire hanger works well), make sure the arms are slightly longer than the radius of the speaker, insert one arm into the hole and "sweep" around in a circle to make sure you clear any unseen obstructions behind the drywall. The only other difficult part is pulling the speaker wire. Thankfully, the cutout gives you more than enough room to stick your arm into the wall to help you fish. All in all, great Polk sound at a good price. What's not to like?

insulation you will want to handle that somehow. I wrote Polk audio and there solution was the insulation doesn't matter but if I'm really worried about it I could put a stocking around the speaker. I was surprised with that response. It doesn't deal with the "dead" sound you get when the speaker has insulation all around it. If you clear the insulation away you defeat the purpose of having insulation in the attic. Other speaker manufacturers offer enclosures designed to fit their speaker with the correct volume and sound baffles, Polk audio does not. I also noticed that if I didn't "box" the speakers that the sound carried into the attic, out the house vents and into other rooms through the ductwork.

You will definitely want to build an enclosure to house the speakers in the attic. I did that then buried the box in insulation.

You also want to use a good twisted pair speaker wire instead of ordinary speaker wire. This eliminate the 60 hz hum that will be picked up from the 115 house wiring that is probably all over your attic. I used Monster Cable 16-Gauge In-Wall Speaker Cable UL-approved for in-wall use and THX-certified.

Check your wire run lengths and if they are longer than the spec you may want to get 12 or 14 gauge wiring.

JBL HTI-55 2-Way In-Wall Speaker System

...

big guys, but they are at least 95% if not more, and they FAR exceeded my expectations. These are of very high quality sound, and quite efficient. They are quite good at producing towards the lower end of the sound spectrum, but as always I would still recommend a powered sub, though you could get away with only a 10" and still be happy. They pull perfect duty as center and fronts, so they get plenty of use. As for those who give it a low rating for color, well don't be dumb. The whole point of in wall speakers is for them to be hidden, and these speakers are meant to be painted to match the wall so they will disappear and become even more un-obtrusive. That being said, they are a little bit off white, and don't match the other of JBL's in wall line. Not a problem if you paint them like you should, or if you only keep them together and away from the other in walls like i did (I have the other 2 surround in the ceiling). One thing to warn you about if you have never used in walls before. They will transmit sound all throughout the house. Since they are mounted directly to the wall, it will resonate throughout the rest of the structure of the house. In essence the entire wall it is attached to becomes like a big speaker. Anyway, long story short, they are a VERY good alternative to the Big Boy's.
