Re: Bathroom Speakers Installation...any tips please?!

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul, hmm good point, might see if i can just cut to size the
bigger spikes and make look reasonable!! Hoping to fully re do the
bathroom in the next year or so so as long as it doesn't look
horrendous then it'll be fine.

Thanks Mark, had missed that article somehow!!

Cheers
Noel

to cut a smooth area of artex up to the ceiling fabric (plasterboard?)
for the flange of the speaker to sit flat on. Otherwise, the speaker
installation is really easy and normally (depending on make), several
screws are tightened which pulls some rear fixings into place. I think
you may need to re-artex a round flat area around each speaker?
