How large is the hole opening in the ceiling drywall for these speakers?

Doesn't matter Thomas. These speakers are Garbage. I own Swift Installs A/V in Memphis. These are the absolute worst ceiling speakers I've ever purchased. If you want a good value 8" speaker. Check out Dayton Audio speakers from Parts Express. They also sell here on Amazon. For a really good one... find you an Episode Speaker dealer in your area. Hope this helps

I'm not 100% sure of the circumference but it fit between my floor joists and they are 12" on center. I just made a template slightly smaller than the trim piece. Great speakers for the price.

Hi, I don't know the exact size. There is template included, so I used the template.

these speakers are specifically designed for wall installation. speakers for ceiling are different by design and installation. therefore, i do not suggest

The hole in the drywall needs to be roughly 9" x 14.5". The electrical box sticks out to the side, so in the ceiling you need another inch or two clearance on that side. The unit is about 7" tall.

I would say roughly an 1/8" to 3/16" at most. But tappered off, it is not much at all. They look very clean when installed with no hard edges. Sound great too!!

All you need is a hole in the drywall the size of the speaker and about an inch clearance all around the hole for the speaker-hook-grab-arms to swing out the pull on the inside of the drywall for the secure mount. i.e. can't install upagainst a stud. ---Dale

Probably needs to be 6 inches. I already had holes for my speakers. I just had to make them a little bigger.

The size of the hole effectively needed is larger than the unit. You need access to 2 ceiling joists so really it is a 16 inch by 16 inch square hole. The unit is smaller than this so you'll need to do some drywall repair.

I installed standard plastic receptacle boxes like those for light switches. I found covers at Lowes that had one hole in the center. I used that to pass the wires for the speakers through. I marked the holes for the mount on the plastic covers and used a hand drill with a metal cutting drill bit to make holes for screws and nuts to hold the speaker mounts. That way, other than the electrical boxes, there are no marks on the ceiling and if I remove the speakers, I can get solid covers to cover the boxes. The plastic covers have proven more than strong enough to support the speakers.

The speaker cutout hole must be at least 4.840 inches diameter. The depth must be at least 2.125 inches.

This would be a question for the manufacturer. The last time I touched on of these was last Christmas. I hung two speakers, not Bose, from the ceiling and there was plenty of length with the extension in there. They clear nicely, but not too far as to stick down too far. There's just enough room to adjust them as needed.

I measured my speaker while mounted. It's a little under 9 inches in diameter from edge to edge of the outer ring. I think you'd be cutting it very close with that big of an opening.

I have the same brackets & speakers. I fabricated a 2" x about 5" x 1/8" steel plate with drilled holes to bolt to the bracket and 2 bolts as hangers for the speaker's keyhole mounts. Works.

8" hole is perfect. It comes with its owe template. Easiest speakers I ever installed.

the duct opening (hole in the floor) on mine is 12 X 2.5 "I had some concerns when I ordered becasue the description of the product is poor, but they fit perfectly and are a great value. Cheaper than buying them t my hardware store by a few bucks even when you add in the shipping. Unless you have an odd-sized opening, which I highly doubt, I would order them. Nice product.

I am currently away from my speakers and I would guess no more than 2" in depth from the mounting bracket. I purchased this speakers and installed them on an Ammo can for a custom boom box. I believe ammo can is around 5" and speakers till does not touch the amp I have installed inside.

A cardboard template comes with the speakers, you place it on the ceiling to mark where to cut, the opening is 8 inches.

Dear Sherri, The cutout hole in your ceiling will need to be 8 1/4". The speaker does come with a cardboard cutout to give you an exact guide to cutting the hole. Eric C World Wide Stereo
