Quality sound

Great speakers for ceiling surround sound.

Wow. Pretty dang good. With Sonos Amp.

I have two of these hooked up on my back patio with the Sonos amp. I’m blown away with the great sound they put out. Great treble and excellent bass. You can really crank them up too, but not with neighbors behind you, they’re loud.

Good speakers for the price with some minor drawbacks.

These speakers were installed in my bedroom ceiling for watching TV/movies and listening to music. I've always been a fan of Polk, and have purchased these speakers before, so I knew I would like them and bought them again. Previously, I installed these speakers in my basement with rolled craft faced insulation in the ceiling, so I had no issues with installation. My only complaint then, which I still have, are the spring loaded wire clips, I would rather see binding posts.My current bedroom has attic space above it with blown insulation, which leads to my second complaint with the speakers, they have an open air bracket/housing, which means I had to construct a cover for the speaker to keep the insulation off the back of the speaker cone. I simply scooped the insulation aside and stapled some window screen material between the ceiling joists which so far seems to have worked. It was a nuisance, but I only had to do it once.The speakers themselves were fairly easy to install. First, the grill must be removed, and I did this by holding the trim of the speakers on each side and gently twisting the two sides. This will cause the grille to pop off slightly, making it easy to simply pull it off. Then use the included template to cut a hole in the appropriate spot, loosen the mountain screws and turn the brackets inward, connect the speaker, insert the speakers, then tighten the screws. Lastly insert the speaker grill.The sound itself is fair to excellent, depending on what you are listening to. These speakers have little to no bass, I also have a polk subwoofer in my room to round out the lows. Some music seems muddy, but overall I'm pleased with these speakers. They are great for TV or movies in stereo. The tweeters are aimable, allowing you to direct the sound where you would like.Pros:-Easy to install-Good quality-Aimable tweetersCons:-Open housing allows insulation in-Spring loaded clips for wires-No bass and sometimes muddy sound

Great speakers!

Polk Audio always comes through! Magnetic cover provides ability to set the speaker in the Sheetrock and then cover the speakers and screwss.

3 years outside garage awning socal

The media could not be loaded. Plastic still holding up but yellowing a bit, but who cares, these thing still thump sound good and have lasted. Will buy more to expand throughout the awnings, using a 100 watt Sony receiver and drives them just fine, I bought some cheap ones before this, audiophile or something and the plastic just disentegrated after a year or two,

Created a wireless System With These.

I bought 4 of these speakers (two pair) 2 years ago (129.99/pair) with the following:1 Sonos Connect (used: 99.00)1 pair RC85i 2 way premium 8” speaker (199.99)One 8 Channel 4000 watt Pyle Amplifier (239.99)Connected the Sonos to the Amp aux 1 input and connected power to all speakers via channels 1 - 6. This configuration powered my first floor open concept area (zone 2)I also have a Sonos Beam connected to the TV (zone 1)Now when using the TV, I have the Beam plus 2 RC85i speakers plus 4 RC80i speakers. Total surround sound (zone 1 and 2). I can play Apple Music, YouTube, TV anything over WiFi thru Sonos, it’s great.The quality is good and power to each speaker is more than enough, I only need about 50% power from amp.2 years ago, I bought these speakers at 1/2 the price, now that I am finishing my basement, I will do a similar configuration but with Pyle speakers. About 1/3 the current price (May 20, 2022)I would of recommended these speakers to anyone 2 years ago, but the price increase just negates that in my opinion.The installation is pretty easy, had wires pre-installed. Simply cut some Sheetrock and screw tight.The look is great, flush to the ceiling and any of the speakers have not come loose in over 2 years.Draw a floor plan to know how many speakers you need and the type of speaker.Should the price drop, please pick them up, otherwise there are other brands which are just as good for a more affordable price
