Description
Plan the Speaker Location Before the Drywall Goes Up
The C67 6.5-inch speaker rough-in bracket gives builders, installers and homeowners a defined ceiling location for compatible in-ceiling speakers during new construction or renovation.
Install the bracket while the ceiling framing is still open. It helps keep speaker locations visible to the drywall crew, provides a clear opening around the planned speaker position, and makes the final speaker installation easier to coordinate.

Why Use a Rough-In Bracket?
Define the Speaker Location Early
Set speaker positions while ceiling joists, wiring and other building services are still visible.
Give the Drywall Installer a Clear Reference
The bracket identifies where the future speaker will be located instead of relying only on measurements or markings that may disappear during construction.
Coordinate Wiring and Speaker Placement
Keep the speaker wire and planned ceiling opening together so the finished speaker location is easier to find after drywall.
Useful for Repeated Installations
Particularly helpful in multi-room projects where several ceiling speakers need consistent placement throughout a home or building.
When the Bracket Is Installed
Position speaker location and speaker wire
Compatible Speaker Hierarchy
Use the speaker's specified cutout dimension—not only the nominal 6.5-inch woofer size—when choosing a rough-in bracket.
| Speaker | Speaker Cutout | Bracket Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| TEXONIC CM610 6.5" In-Ceiling Speaker | 8.25" | Designed around the same 6.5" / approximately 8.25" installation family. Use the CM610 speaker template for the final cut. |
| Russound IC-610 6.5" In-Ceiling Speaker | 8.25" 8.375" suggested installation opening |
Strong fit for this bracket size. Russound's suggested 8.375" installation opening corresponds closely with the bracket opening. |
| Russound IC-610T Single-Point Stereo Speaker | 8.375" | Direct dimensional match to the bracket's 8.375" inner opening. |
