Re: Need some sort of temporary drywall plug

Other than in the room where the amplifiers will be located, you don't
really need to leave anything showing when prewiring for speakers.  You
can locate cables hidden behind sheetrock with a common tool called a
"Tone Set".

Alarm installers and telephone service folks use tone sets all the
time.  The tool consists of a tone generator and pickup (induction coil
with a tiny amp and speaker attached).  Turn the music on with no
speakers attached to the amp.  Walk around the remote rooms with the
pickup tool.  The tool can detect music in speaker wires several feet
away behind the drywall.  As you move the tool closer to the sound gets
louder.  You can find every speaker wire in the house this way in a
matter of minutes.

BTW, the same tool does a wonderful job of locating electrical wires --
they make a loud, 60Hz buzz when the tool gets close to them.

Happy hunting. :^)
