"We met Chris through our interior designer, and he has done multiple small to midsize size projects for us as we’ve renovated and updated several things in our home. Ranging from installing perfectly mounted TVs/AV systems to designing and installing an effective and fail-proof internet and sound system throughout our home, Chris and his team have been thoughtful each step of the way. They are patient with construction delays and make excellent recommendations and advise on the best way to approach various projects, even if they aren’t the guys to complete the project (eg. built ins or a security system.) Chris is the best of the best - a true gentleman and excellent in his trade. We trust him and his team completely - both in our home and remotely with sensitive information. Their installations are perfect - they customize equipment, organize and label everything exquisitely and intuitively, and are patient in explaining and teaching us how to use our new technology. Thank you Chris!"

"The work was finished in a quick and convenient manner and everything works like a charm. However, I was not informed of what the cost would be beforehand, and it was higher than I thought it would be for a simple HDMI hookup for my new XBox 360. I was also not told beforehand that credit cards would not be accepted so I had to pay in cash. Though the work was done quickly and the console worked just like I hoped it all would, transparency was still lacking."

"Jim was FANTASTIC!! He was diligent, knowledgeable, and walked us through everything from planning to completion. His level of detail on what he was doing, how he would charge, and what he did for the entire project was very thorough to say the least. The overall project was a theater room as well as the entire first floor in room sound. Jim's recommendations on how to configure and his solutions worked out perfectly and helped with out to find lower cost more effective solutions to get what we needed. In addition to the sound, Jim was able to set up all of our data lines and coax since our home was new construction. Entire home works well. I cant say enough about Jim and his professionalism and attention to detail. Once completed, he even put together a comprehensive document detailing and explaining all of the work, how the system works, basic trouble shooting and all of the functions of the equipment. This "how-to" guide is invaluable for me but more importantly for my wife and how she is able to use the entire system as well without any confusion. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim and Empirical A/V for any in home installation."

"ANYONE WHO IS HAVING DIRECT TV INSTALLED IN CHICAGO WOULD BE FOOLISH NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HONEST, QUICK, AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE OF MINA'S TV. MINA'S IS COMMITTED TO AN IDEAL OF SERVICE THAT I THOUGHT HAD VANISHED FROM OUR SOCIETY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITH NO RESERVATIONS."

"Wow! I cannot say enough great things about Seng. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He knew so much about this industry that he was able to offer a more economically sound option than we were previously quoted. He was prompt, we had service in no time, and he had to travel from Atlanta to Savannah. Seng also offered solutions to problems we had that were not within the confines of what he was hired to do. In fact, he helped me with a computer issue remotely a few days ago. Seng and this company are amazing! Excellent customer service is hard to find these days, but you will find it here. 10 out of 10!"

"Eduardo was very professional and he did excellent work. I needed 2 Ethernet Cables run to 2 different floors. He did a very clean install and ran everything through the attic where no cables are exposed and everything is hidden through drywall. I highly recommend him for any electrical work or internet cable work."

"Jose was outstanding. He was very thorough in his approach and talked through all the options and considerations with us in advance of installing two of our TVs on wall mounts. He first came to do an assessment to get a better sense of what the job would entail and then quoted us a fair price. The job ended up taking longer than the initially quoted time, but he held true to the quoted price. He sent us pictures at various stages to ensure we were happy with the result. Would highly recommend Jose for TV mounting and other jobs."

By trade I am a field service tech for electronic alarm systems (burglar, fire and CCTV) for over 8 years. Familiar and capable of many other trades. I handle almost all issues, repairs and upgrades for my own home. Any and all work I perform I treat it like my own home. I have too much pride in my work to do sloppy work.

FAQs for home theater surround sound system installation projects in Chicago, IL

Multi-room ceiling speaker installations vary in cost depending on the number of speakers you’re installing, wiring requirements, and system complexity. Each additional room increases material needs and labor time. The total expense grows with the scope of the project, with factors like ceiling accessibility and integration requirements influencing the final price.

Installation time depends on system complexity and ceiling access. According to installation data, four speakers take two to three hours to install, while 10 speakers require five to 7.5 hours. More complex setups with custom wiring or difficult-to-access ceilings may extend the timeline. First-time DIY installations often take longer than professional work due to the learning curve involved.

Most residential ceilings can accommodate speaker installation, though methods vary based on your ceiling material. Standard drywall offers straightforward installation, while other materials can present unique challenges. Some ceiling types may require special mounting solutions or alternative speaker placement strategies to achieve optimal sound quality, secure positioning, and aesthetic integration.

Ceiling speakers offer several advantages, including preserved floor space and distributed sound coverage. While the initial investment of $1,000 to $2,000 is significant, many homeowners appreciate the clean aesthetic and immersive audio experience these systems provide. For entertainment spaces and multi-room audio setups, ceiling speakers can enhance both functionality and home value.
