1. Choose a location for the keypad and trace around the box, making sure to mark the notches for the clips. Probe for obstructions with a stiff wire, then cut along the lines with a drywall keyhole saw.

2. Mark both speaker locations with masking tape and probe for obstructions. Trace around the template and cut out the opening with a drywall saw.

3. Poke a reference wire through the ceiling, then in the attic find the wire and measure over to find the center of the wall. Drill a 3/4-in. hole down through the top plate. Drop a weighted string through the hole. Attach the cables and pull them up into the attic.

4. Push a reference wire through a small drilled hole along the baseboard. Measure over from it and drill a hole up through the bottom plate. Push a fish tape (or stick) up from below. Attach the cable with tape. Pull the cable down through the hole.

5. Slide the low-voltage remodeling box into the wall and tighten the screws until the clips are snug to the drywall.

6. Strip off a few inches of sheathing and pull the exposed string (unzip) to expose another 2 in. of wires. Snip the sheathing. Clip the wires to 2 in. and untwist the pairs.

7. Lay each wire into its corresponding groove on the back of the amplified keypad and punch them down with the punch-down tool. Trim the ends of the wires with a scissors or end cutter.

8. Strip 3/8 in. of insulation from each speaker wire, twist the strands together and push each wire into the speaker hook-ups (red to positive and black to negative). Tighten the screws. Plug the block into the keypad and mount the keypad in the wall box.

9. Strip the speaker wires to expose about 3/4 in. of stranded wire and connect them to the speaker. Press the speaker against the ceiling and tighten the screws until the clips are snug to the drywall.

10. Run the Cat-5e cables through the attic, crawlspace or basement to the distribution hub. Prepare the Cat-5e cables using the technique shown in Photo 6. Punch them down, using a separate block (labeled 1 through 4) for each set of speakers.

11. Run a Cat-5e cable from the distribution hub to a low-voltage remodeling box located in the wall behind your audio source. Strip the sheathing and punch the wires down into the terminals of a Cat-5e module jack. Use the “A” wiring pattern. Snap the jack into a cover plate and screw the plate to the box.

12. Connect the source distribution module to the jack with a Cat-5e patch cord. Connect to the audio source with RCA cables.
