I am in the process of building a new home. I have done all the plumbing, heating and working on the electrical. After I complete the electrical I am considering installing a whole house stereo systems (ceiling and wall mounted speakers). I'm having a difficault time trying to located information on which systems are good, and kind of DIY install. There are pleaty of installers who are willing to do the job but I kind of wanted to do it myself.

Any resources would be helpful.

Maybe this Link will help.

I only have experience with Athena's Architectural series, in-wall speakers used as surrounds. Excellent build quality, sounds great, easy to install. Adjustable tweeter to aim at the listening position. IMO, overall an excellent product. Athena's website.

Polk Audio make in-wall speakers too, so you might want to research them also.
