Install A Wholehome Speaker System

So you want to know install a whole home speaker system. A whole home speaker system will allow you to listen to music or even audio from your television in any room in your home you install speakers. The difficulty of this process will depend on whether you are building a new home and can insert speaker wire into the walls or if you will need to work around existing drywall.


Instructions


1. Determine where the "hub" of your system will be located. This should be somewhere fairly centrally located within your home and will also be where you place your receiver.


2. Install your speaker selector. This is very easy; simply take a small length of speaker wire, and connect the selector to the "B" ports of your receiver. This will allow you to turn on the rest of your home simply by turning on the B side of your receiver.


3. Determine where you want each of your speakers and how you will run wire from the hub to each of these locations. Keep in mind that the easiest and best way to run wire is typically outside and see if this is possible. Also check for running wire through the attic, basement or crawl space.


4. Run the wire. When you have to run wire through a room, attach it to your baseboards using the staple gun; this is quick and easy and generally lasts as well.


5. Connect the speakers to the speaker selector using the speaker wire you've run.
