The powered rough-in assembly includes a mounting frame that is annular, having an inner perimeter sized and shaped to receive a speaker module, and an outer perimeter having a polygonal shape with a plurality of edges. The powered rough-in assembly also includes a wiring block coupled to a first edge of the mounting frame. The wiring block includes two spring-type terminals and two wires, each terminal communicatively coupled to a first end of a different wire of the two wires. The plurality of edges includes at least one edge that is a flange having a plurality of countersunk holes. The plurality of edges also includes at least two edges releasably coupled to metal wings. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A powered rough-in assembly, comprising: a mounting frame that is annular, comprising an inner perimeter sized and shaped to receive a speaker module, and an outer perimeter having a polygonal shape with a plurality of edges; and a wiring block coupled to a first edge of the plurality of edges of the mounting frame, the wiring block comprising two spring-type terminals and two wires, each terminal communicatively coupled to a first end of a different wire of the two wires; wherein the plurality of edges comprises at least one edge that is a flange comprising a plurality of countersunk holes; wherein the plurality of edges comprises at least two edges releasably coupled to metal wings. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plug coupled to a second end of each of the two wires, the plug shaped to mate with a plug receiver on the speaker module, communicatively coupling the speaker module to the terminals of the wiring block. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer perimeter has eight edges. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 1, wherein the inner perimeter comprises a lip extending outward from the mounting frame. ### Claim 5 A powered rough-in assembly, comprising: a mounting frame that is annular, comprising an inner perimeter sized and shaped to receive a speaker module, and an outer perimeter having a polygonal shape with a plurality of edges; and a wiring block coupled to a first edge of the plurality of edges of the mounting frame, the wiring block comprising two terminals and two wires, each terminal communicatively coupled to a first end of a different wire of the two wires; wherein the plurality of edges comprises at least one edge that is a flange comprising a plurality of holes. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 5, further comprising a plug coupled to a second end of each of the two wires, the plug shaped to mate with a plug receiver on the speaker module, communicatively coupling the speaker module to the terminals of the wiring block. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 5, wherein the outer perimeter has eight edges. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 5, wherein the plurality of edges comprises at least two edges releasably coupled to metal wings. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 5, wherein the terminals of the wiring block are spring-type terminals. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 5, wherein the inner perimeter comprises a lip extending outward from the mounting frame. ### Claim 11 A powered rough-in assembly, comprising a mounting frame that is annular and two wire terminals, the mounting frame comprising an inner perimeter sized and shaped to receive a speaker module passing through the powered rough-in assembly, and an outer polygonal perimeter having a plurality of edges, wherein the plurality of edges comprises at least two edges releasably coupled to metal wings. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 11, further comprising a wiring block coupled to the mounting frame, the wiring block comprising the two terminals. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 11, wherein the inner perimeter comprises a lip extending outward from the mounting frame. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 11, further comprising two wires, wherein each terminal is communicatively coupled to a first end of a different wire of the two wires. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 14, further comprising a plug coupled to a second end of each of the two wires, the plug shaped to mate with a plug receiver on the speaker module, communicatively coupling the speaker module to the terminals. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 11, wherein the outer perimeter has eight edges. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 11, wherein the plurality of edges comprises at least one edge that is a flange comprising a plurality of holes. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The powered rough-in assembly of claim 11, wherein the terminals are spring-type terminals.
