In Wall Speakers - Code Issues?

[lulubell]

I'm considering in-wall speakers for a new addition. Spoke with my builder the other day and he indicated there may be code issues when installing in-wall speakers on an exterior wall. I live in upper midwest so lack of insulation is a potential issue along with vapor barrier. I understand that back boxx takes care of the vapor barrier issue.

Any thoughts?

If this is a true problem/issue, I guess I have the option of installing the speakers in the ceiling vs. wall but then I wonder how much I may be compromising sound quality. Currently considering Speakercraft AIM LCR 3 for all HT speakers and possibly NHT U-1 sub.

Thanks.

Codes are different around the country. Down south it is not a problem.
If you are going to go in-ceiling, take a look at these two lines

www.truaudio.com the Revolve speakers are really good for the money.
