An in-wall amplifier assembly includes a wireless communication device and an amplifier located inside a first housing configured for in-wall installation, with the amplifier configured to amplify the audio output from the wireless communication device and supply it to external speakers. An AC/DC adapter located in a second housing can be connected thereto to supply DC power to the amplifier and wireless communication device. The wireless communication device can be removably accommodated in a faceplate of the first housing and held in place by a wall plate installed thereover. The amplifier can accept an external audio input from another source and automatically switch the amplified audio output between the output of the wireless communication device and the external audio input.

In-wall amplifier and controller housing and related methods

Speaker performance can be improved by routing sound from a rear side of speaker through a circuitous port formed between inner and outer surfaces of a wall of the speaker enclosure. An audio speaker enclosure comprises an enclosure housing defining an internal volume with a speaker opening at a first end thereof, the speaker opening being configured to receive a speaker therein, the enclosure housing having an inner surface facing the internal volume and an outer surface, the enclosure further defining at least one port communicating between the internal volume and the outer surface, the at least one port extending between the inner and outer surfaces along a port length that is greater than a maximum housing thickness between the inner and outer surfaces. The speaker enclosure can be made by arranging an inner speaker enclosure shell within an outer speaker enclosure shell such that the port is defined therebetween.

Embodiments of the present invention provide installation templates and methods that allow placement of various sized equipment in a finished wall or ceiling. In one embodiment, a method of forming an aperture for mounting of an in-wall component between two supports is provided. The method generally includes coupling a substrate, including an adjustable guide corresponding to the dimensions of the in-wall component, to the two supports, installing drywall over the substrate and the guide, and forming the aperture by removing at least a portion of the drywall installed over the guide.
