Does any one know if there are fire rated back boxes for Russound or Klipsch (or other manufacturers for that matter) in-wall/in-ceiling speakers? Someone told me SpeakerCraft has them for their speakers, but I'll have to jump through a few hoops to go that route. All help appreciated ....

Hey Low, If you find some back boxes for Klipsch, would you tell me where to get them? I have two in wall 8" with square tweeter that is movable. Forgot teh # right now. Thx - Dave [email protected]

If you are or can find a Klipsch Professional dealer, there are a few in-ceiling models with fire-rated back-cans. The speakers are nothing special; same as the contractor series, but the back can is nice and comes with a T-Bar bridge. If you can't find them, I have 4 SpeakerCraft backboxes that are set up for round speakers, but with minor modification (metal shears), will accept rectangular speakers as well. They are leftover from a job that ended up not needing them.
Note that if you are installing in a garage ceiling, you MUST use a two hour minimum back can such as those mentioned above. The Klipsch cans will retrofit, but are very deep, the SpeakerCraft backboxes are larger and need to install prior to sheetrock.

Just a follow-up ... I found some back boxes made by Proficient Audio that I think are going to work, but I might have to make some slight modifications ... these were pretty easy to get through distribution
