Leviton aepc8-kit In-ceiling Speaker Kit 8 Inches

Product Description

The LEVITON aepc8-kit is a pre-construction in-ceiling speaker kit designed for rough-in installation before drywall is hung. Part of the Leviton Architectural Edition line powered by JBL, this kit ships as a pair of 8-inch in-ceiling speakers and includes the hardware needed to secure rough-in frames during the framing stage. It is intended for new construction or major renovation projects where speaker placement is planned before wall and ceiling finishes are applied. Low-voltage installers and custom AV integrators are the primary trades who work with this kit.

This kit is suited for residential new construction where in-ceiling audio is part of a structured wiring or whole-home audio plan. The pre-construction format allows rough-in brackets or back-cans to be set during the framing phase, reducing rework after drywall installation. The 8-inch driver size supports use in larger rooms such as great rooms, open living areas, or primary bedrooms where broader low-frequency coverage is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or licensed AV integrators during the rough-in phase of construction. Speaker wiring should comply with NEC Article 640 and local low-voltage wiring codes. Always confirm wire gauge and run length against the amplifier or receiver manufacturer specifications before pulling wire. Do not mount or finalize speaker grilles until drywall, texture, and paint are complete.
