Do I need a pre-construction rough-in ring?

No. You can use the supplied template to cut the wholes in the ceiling.

BUT, we highly recommend using the pre-construction rings. Then the sub contractors can cut the holes for you.

RC-879 Rough-in ring with Quick Connect™ technology for all 7", 8", and 9" in-ceiling speakers. ABS plastic ring, insulation guard, mesh aluminum wing.

How are these wired?

You can use 16/2 speaker wire.nSome prefer 14/2 for use with high-end amplifiers. ONLY use speaker wire.

TIP: We like to run 16/4 speaker wire to the first speaker in every pair. Then we connect the second speaker with a 16/2 speaker wire.

How are these powered?

Each speaker pair needs an amplifier and a music server. Leaf and VSSL are good for this. You could also use an all-in-one Sonos AMP.

Are these Bluetooth or AirPlay compatible?

They can be. By using a VSSL or Sonos AMP allows you can wirelessly connect to your homes' speakers.
