Pre-wire for 5 Sonos Audio zones - 660.00 Unless your plan for your Sonos audio zones are of the Amp variety, where you might install the amp in the ceiling and have speakers mounted through the ceiling, that sounds extraordinarily high to me.

Re: Home Theatre - wiring requirement - please 6Nov 23, 2014 2:20 am We are unable to predict what sort of house you have so cannot answer those questions.
