Pre-Construction Rough-In Speaker Brackets for 6.5-Inch In-Ceiling Speakers with Stud-Mount Wings and Durable Plastic-Aluminum Build
The Russound SB-C67 is a pair of rough-in speaker brackets designed for pre-construction installation of 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers. Each bracket defines the speaker location and cutout before drywall goes up, with an 8.375-inch internal opening that fits most 6.5-inch speakers requiring an 8.25-inch cutout. Perforated tabbed wings on each bracket attach directly to ceiling joists or wall studs with nails, screws, or staples, locking the speaker position in place for the drywall crew.
The SB-C67 brackets use a plastic and aluminum construction that handles the rigors of an active job site without cracking or bending during the framing and drywall phases. The brackets are compatible with Russound 6.5-inch in-ceiling models and most third-party 6.5-inch speakers that use a standard 8.25-inch cutout. Installing rough-in brackets during framing eliminates the guesswork of locating speakers after the ceiling is finished, and gives the drywall installer a visible reference for cutting clean openings.
Where the SB-C67 Fits
- New construction residential audio where the builder pre-wires for multi-room sound during framing, and the rough-in brackets mark each speaker location so the drywall crew cuts accurate openings on the first pass
- Commercial buildouts and tenant improvements where the audio contractor installs speaker locations in the ceiling grid before the finished ceiling goes in, coordinating with HVAC and lighting rough-ins
- Home theater and media room construction where precise speaker placement is planned from the architectural drawings, and the rough-in brackets hold position through the entire construction sequence until final speaker installation
What the SB-C67 Delivers
- 8.375-inch internal opening for 6.5-inch speakers: The bracket opening fits most 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers that require an 8.25-inch cutout. The slight extra clearance ensures a clean fit without forcing the speaker into the opening during final installation.
- Perforated stud-mount wings: Tabbed wings on each bracket accept nails, screws, or staples for fast attachment to ceiling joists or wall studs. The perforated design provides multiple fastener points for secure positioning at any angle relative to the framing.
- Plastic and aluminum construction: The hybrid material build stands up to job site handling, foot traffic on the subfloor above, and temperature swings between framing and finish phases without warping or cracking.
- Universal 6.5-inch speaker compatibility: Designed for Russound 6.5-inch in-ceiling speakers and compatible with most third-party models that share the standard 8.25-inch cutout dimension.
