Customer Reviews

Bose Speaker Installation
In renovating our house we installed 2 pair of the Bose virtually invisble speakers. There were no problems until after the painting, when the speakers went into the walls; apparently, they just hang there, inside the rough-in plate and sheetrock. There is no screw connection to hold them in place, with the result that the grilles of 2 of them are flat against the wall, and the grilles of 2 of them stick out on the top, probably because of insulation between the wall studs (which is standard, at least here in the Northeast). I am going to try to take them back out of the wall and remove some insulation, but it is annoying, to say the least -- neither the rough in plates (which are just flat stamped metal pieces, vastly overpriced) nor the speakers are exactly budget models.

Great for new construction installs
I am installing the Bose 191's in a new construction project, and purchased this rough-in kit to prepare my speaker location on the open studs. I really didn't want to have to make cuts and use the template on finished drywall - too much room for error, etc. These plates made it a snap - simply measure and level them where you want and then either screw them to the studs or use a couple of roofing nails (better). Voila! The drywall is installed over them, and they leave a perfect guide for the drywall installers to pre-cut the hole for you.

A little pricey for what they are, but worth it in the time you'll save later - not to mention cleaner install with less chance of mistakes.
