 In sound July 19, 2010
matthew i dougherty (honolulu, hi United States)
Ran the wires through the attic. Made the cut outs. Connect the speakers and attach to the wall. Couldn't be easier. These speakers make good sound. More bass than I thought they would provide. They do clip a bit as volume goes up. They are used for ambient sound in entertaining areas and they are perfect for that.
 Satisfyed iwht this series May 21, 2010
jr1234 (Nashville TN)
Need in wall due to room. got 6 8"to include overhead and am off brand center speaker.
denon audyssey calibrated each so well. Makes the room look clean and the sound clear and crisp.
no regrets. The new HD DTS and SACD audio is like descovering stereo again
Unbelievable sound for an entry level speaker May 15, 2010
Home Theater Made Easy (Forney, TX USA)
Polk's speaker lineup on in wall/ in ceiling speakers are phenomonal. These speakers are so acoustically rich that they sound good with everything from rock to jazz and even better in home theater. I haven't had a client disappointed with the sound quality yet and the price is definitely fits any budget. Placement is key to the overall performance of any in wall speaker(especially for surround sound setups) so if you haven't ever installed a pair read recommendations in the owners manual for proper placements areas.Pivotable tweeters allows you to directionalize your sound for even better performance. Very sleek and sit flush with wall and they come with paintable grills and inserts to protect speaker during painting process(hint if you have a way to paint them by using a sprayer they turn out looking the best if not use a foam paint brush on the bezel to avoid paint lines and get a smooth look) if your picky you will probably want to take a toothpick to the tiny holes on the grill to give them a more finished look." don't forget to take the paint mask back out when done painting". Incredible power handling and bass response for an in wall speaker at this price. When using any in wall speaker for music and theater setups invest in a good subwoofer with a good power output. Polk's DSW MicroPro 2000 8" 1200 watt sub Polk Audio DSW MicroPRO 2000 Subwoofer Speaker (Single, Black) is a good choice.Installation is a breeze but when using a drill for the set screws go slow as the dog-ears that pull speaker flush to the wall will break if to much tension is put on them. Start with the 2 middle screws first then to the corners and if you have to remove speaker from wall for any reason back out the screws slowly and not all the way or you risk that piece falling off in the wall. Test for studs before cutting your holes and watch out for pipes and or electrical lines too. Bang for the buck on the best in wall speakers out there for this price!
Awesome! May 3, 2010
Jason Hill (Chicago, IL)
These speakers sound great! Easy installation and it looks fantastic! Paired with the RC60i in-ceiling speakers, Polk 10 inch subwoofer and a CS20 center channel. Sound is amazing. Sounds like I'm wearing headphones!
Nice! May 3, 2010

I installed these speakers as rear surround speakers and don't intend to use them for music. Installation could not have been easier (I had run wires previously).
They sound great in the room that I have them in and for the purpose I bought them for.
