Wouldn't it be nice to be able to listen to music, TV, or MP3s in every room of your house ?

To be able to flip on one stereo system that distributes high quality audio throughout your home ?

HiTech Upgrades' core business revolves around helping you achieve these goals quickly and affordable.

We have multiple speaker wiring packages to meet your needs for various budgets and desired features.

Overview

The best time to install speaker wire in a home or business office is when it's under construction. The walls are open and it's a perfect opportunity to hide in-wall speaker wire throughout your residence.

Adequate wire is routed to each room for potential in-wall, in-ceiling, or traditional floor or wall mounted speakers. The wires are all routed to a centralized home audio control center, such as your stereo cabinet or dedicated media closet. A detailed look at the construction process is explained below.

Packages

Entry Level - speaker wire is run to each desired room; volume and audio source controls are centralized at the home's stereo rack

Enthusiast - speaker wire is routed to a volume control wall switch within each listening area and then to each in-wall or in-ceiling speaker

Professional - in addition to being able to control audio volume remotely, additional control wire is routed throughout the home to permit full control of audio source, changing radion stations, CDs, etc from a wall plate in each using your stereo's remote control

Construction Process

Initial Meeting - While your home is under construction or during the design process, a HiTech Upgrades representative will meet with you to review your goals and desires for your connected home. A custom whole-house audio and home theater plan will be developed and presented to you for review and approval. It will outline the general locations of stereo A/V equipment, speakers, and other elements of the high-tech process. You'll be expected to provide us with a copy of your contractor's construction schedule, so that we can begin to schedule our involvement in the project, timing, and coordination.

Pre-Wire - this is the most important phase of HiTech Upgrades' involvement in your new home construction process. Timing is critical: Immediately after the electricians are complete their rough-in and have passed their electrical inspection and just before the insulation has been installed is when HiTech Upgrades has the opportunity to our work. We'll spend 1-2 days in your home running speaker wire to the various locations as agreed upon during our initial meeting. All the wires will typically be terminated in one area or room of the home, where the main A/V stereo system will be located.

Trim-Out - As construction continues, the back boxes that contain the speaker wires are left exposed and taped over. Once the painting is complete, HiTech Upgrades can return to trim-out the installation. Cover plates are then installed over the exposed back boxes for a more finished look.

Speaker Installation - after your home is granted occupancy, HiTech Upgrades can purchase and install speakers for your residence. In-wall or in-ceiling speakers are typically installed; however some clients may desire exposed speakers be wall mounted. The popularity of small cube speakers for home theaters, such as Bose and Infinity, is quite common for HiTech Upgrades' clients.
