Tru Audio rc-6 Rough-in Ring 6.5 Inch In-ceiling Speaker

Product Description

The TRU AUDIO rc-6 is a rough-in ring designed for 6.5-inch in-ceiling speaker installations. It provides a mounting template and protective frame during the rough-in phase of construction, allowing contractors and installers to pre-cut openings and secure the speaker location before drywall finishing is complete. The rc-6 measures 8.1 inches in diameter and is categorized as a bracket-type accessory. Audio installers and low-voltage contractors use this ring to maintain clean, accurate cutouts and protect the rough-in opening until the final speaker is mounted.

The rc-6 is suited for residential and light commercial new construction or renovation projects where in-ceiling speakers are being installed. It is used during the framing and drywall phase to hold the cutout position and protect the opening. The ring is compatible with 6.5-inch in-ceiling speaker installations, making it a standard rough-in accessory for audio system buildouts where finish work follows structural rough-in by days or weeks.

Low-voltage audio installers and custom integration contractors typically install this rough-in ring during the framing or pre-drywall phase. Ensure the ceiling joist spacing and structural backing are confirmed before cutting the opening. The ring should be secured firmly to prevent movement before drywall is applied. Final speaker installation should follow the speaker manufacturer guidelines once finish work is complete.
