Monoprice Rough-in Bracket for 6.5in Round Speaker (Each) Black

To all who are relying on these to hold a speaker, that's not the intended purpose! These are for pre-sheet rock installation. I have used many speaker brackets, all are intended to be a template for the sheet rock crew to cut out. Please consider the purpose of a product before you give it a low star rating.

I used this product to install my speakers good product 👌 👍

Of the hundreds of products we have purchased from Amazon I have never taken the time to write a review until now... This is the cheapest, most worthless product I have ever purchased in my 54 years on this earth. They are made of the flimsiest, Chinese plastic you could possibly find and the break away tabs break off and the speakers fall down AFTER they are securely installed. As far as I'm concerned, this company owes me $120 for a new pair of speakers!!! I installed the speakers perfectly, according to the instructions. During the installation process I noticed how flimsy the plastic was and how much the speakers sagged and would bounce up and down like a trampoline. As soon as I fired them up one of the tabs broke in half and one side of the speaker fell, causing the other tab to break and then the speaker fell and hit the ground and was destroyed. And, since speakers only come in a 2-pack I am forced to buy another pack. DO NOT buy these worthless pieces of crap unless you want to pay for multiple sets of speakers. Good thing my son wasn't standing underneath!!!

Allows me to put the ring in before sheet rock to make sure my speaker was in the perfect spot.

First off people these are not MOUNTS. You cannot attach these to joists and hang a speaker on them, they are rough in holes to the drywaller can make a hole and you can attach your wire to. We are remodeling after hurricane Ida and I needed to mark my ceiling speaker locations for the drywallers. These brackets are almost perfect. The reason they are not 100% is the flaps that attach to the joists. The way they break off didn't allow them to be centered and mount and snap off the excess cleanly. Other than that one little issue they are fantastic.

Was remodeling a room, had the framing exposed at the ceiling. This was the easiest method to ensure the correct placement of the speakers when the contractors began drywalling. Contractors advised it was easy to mark the center of the circle and cut to the edge and follow the plastic bracket. The cut was precise with no gaps, making the speakers fit snuggly. Some reviews say the plastic tabs broke during installation easily. I did not have that problem, not sure how they were installing them but nailing them on to the bottom of the ceiling joist was very easy. I did have someone help me hold it in place while I did the nailing, the bracket might have been left to hang when nailing which could have caused the plastic snaps to break. Remember, the snaps are meant to be easily snapped off to remove the excess. All in all, great product!

I had a heck of a time understanding if the Monoprice 6.5" bracket (the medium size) would fit the Sonos Sonance In-Ceiling Speakers. I'm happy to report it *does* fit! It's a nice snug fit with just a little bit of wiggle room. In my research I found conflicting reports, so I bought a set of these (the 6.5" size) and they work great! I don't know why it was so hard to find the actual dimension of these on the internet, but they do work with the Sonos / Sonance In-Ceiling speakers!

Cheap plastic. Was trying to use these to mount sonance in ceiling speakers in a ceiling that is completely exposed. No chance these would hold the weight of a speaker.

These don’t fit the monoprice 6.5 alpha speakers....pointless.
