I m trying to think of an easy way to cut the circular holes that they will go into.
Mounting outdoor speakers to aluminum siding.

Use the included brackets.
If you have aluminum or vinyl siding you ll need to drill through the siding go through the narrower part at the top to the material beneath likely wood plywood or studs to anchor the wood screws.
Only mount speakers on solid wood or masonry.
Siding itself is not strong enough to hold a speaker.
Outdoor speaker brackets are already treated for weather.
They are used for attaching things like outdoor receptacles light fixtures and service boxes to.
This can cause vibrations which will lower the sound quality or the speakers can fall entirely.
This renders the siding vulnerable to moisture and voids the warranty even if you seal the hole.
There are at least three alternative ways to do it.
Feed the cable through the hole in the back of the vinyl mounting block and set the block against the siding.
You need to get a vinyl siding mounting block.
So drill a hole insert an anchor and then bolt the mounting bracket into place.
To drill into siding go near the top of the siding where it s most narrow.
Speaker install in aluminum soffit hey guys we have 4 speakers to install in some aluminum soffit on a new home.
Be sure to measure the siding.
If you want to hang something from your vinyl siding don t even think about drilling through it to attach a hook to the sheathing.
It is pre notched to follow the contours of the siding.
Avoid mounting on cedar or aluminum siding otherwise the speakers may start to sag.
I ve got a pair of outdoor speakers i need to mount outside for my patio.
The vinyl or aluminum siding by itself isn t strong enough to support the weight of a speaker and the bracket will sag.
