Tips: get an "installer bit" -- this is a really long, flexible drill bit that lets you cut a hole for the mounting plate, and drill directly from there down into the floor below. In the ideal case, no drywall patching is needed at all. You mount a low-voltage retrofit box/ring in the hole you made and the keystone wall plate attaches to that.
