Questions & Answers

How does real dimension W, H, D look like?

This Polk Audio 265-based audio system features a This is a 20-minute response time A 7/8" high by an 8" wide The dimensions of the font are 7/8" x 3" The diameter of this is 3.". It would be necessary to cut out a 19-by-15-inch portion Dimensions are 3/16" high by 7" wide A mounting depth of three inches and a width of one-half of an inch are required By using 1/2" drywall, you get a thickness of 1/4".

I am thinking about using this for the left and right sides of the front. Would it be possible to match the timbre of the speakers with the best center speaker? You can mount it on the wall or on a shelf. ?

There is no difference you can tell, I believe. It sounds great when I use center A6. In wall center, I would get the matching items. A large bookshelf is a type of bookcase. For your information. Having more bass is a great idea for book shelves. The center doesn't need to provide you with that. There is lots of low end in my center, and it is very large. I need to turn the volume down so it matches my speakers in the wall.

This is not the case. Acoustic enclosures in installations usually consist of the wall you mount it on.

Polk's poor customer service and return policy can be found on Amazon
3/5

In order to have everything at my fingertips when I was running wires, cutting holes, etc. , I ordered my theater system in full before any wiring was done. After 30 days, you can't return anything - I didn't realize you could - Even if you received a defective product, this is too short a timeframe for a warranty through most DIYers. When I called Polk to inquire about their warranty, they refused to send me a new speaker and instead sent me some parts that I would.

The speakers are great and the price is great! My favorite thing about these speakers is that they sound good
5/5

I installed these to replace my really good Polk speakers so that I could use my projector screen in my man cave. I am using them as my Front L and Front R speakers. A pair of front-right speakers that were purchased by Amazon for their audio system The Transparent Screen (ER100WH1- In such a situation, I would not recommend these if you aren't planning on subscribing to a magazine. As my rear speakers, I have a Polk RC85i as the center speaker, a Polk Sub, and 2 Polk RC85i's as my rear speakers. My ceiling is lit by two Polk RC60i lights. In spite of the fact the speakers will be hidden from view, I was struck by how snug the actual speaker cover was against the wall. It's amazing what they came up with. There is an extremely low profile on this speaker, even less than other wall/ceiling Polk speakers I have. And the covers are so easy to take off in comparison to all the other in-wall Polk speakers I have. It is possible to have speakers on the wall. In most cases, installing them is a breeze (running the speaker wire is a bit challenging). Please refer to the following list to prepare for the project Fortunately, I installed these in the only room in my house that had a drop ceiling, so I had a better idea of what I was doing. But there's no way to know until you actually have the hole cut that you won't find anything unexpected. It is recommended that you hire a professional if you are not comfortable doing this. Keep an eye on it all the time* The distance between the wall and any stud should be 5". The tabs need to be fully installed so you can grab a good hold of them.

This is a good story in every sense
5/5

Each speaker comes with a template with hole measurements needed to make sure that the speaker fits perfectly into the These grills have a very low profile, attach via magnets, and have a very fine mesh, very easy to clean This is the end of the I was able to install speakers easily and they were secure against the wall. The ones in a 5 are what I used for the fronts. For an ATMOS system, this system would be matched with the Polk 255crt (center), 65rt (rear), 70rt (ceiling presence). As soon as I calibrated the levels, I was amazed at how good the sound was. They produce phenomenal clarity for both instruments and voice. They produce timbre matching between each speaker, so there is no awkward transition between them. Having installed a clean interior, I could not have been happier with the results. I highly recommend them to anyone planning on doing the same thing System for walling off an area.

I can't even describe how awesome these speakers are
5/5

It is three in a row A) all positions have been identified. I have updated my post to reflect two recent events In spite of being used every day for almost three years, these speakers are still working well! A. LATEST UPDATE The sounds are still great after a year behind my acoustically transparent theater screen even with daily use. Any doubts should be put to rest. You can buy three of them, and then place them vertically to make your L-shaped table The front of the soundstage is in R. This is a fantastic way to spend a few hours!

As stated in the Original There is nothing like these speakers. They are It is three in a row A) all vertically in the wall behind an acoustically-improving back wall This is the first time I've heard these sound systems through a transparent screen in my home theater.

I am in love with these Buying a pair of Cerwin Vega DX7 since 1998 isn't an issue for me
5/5

When they were first introduced, they were rated as the best. Since they were top of the line, I thought they would still be so. WRONG! It feel so open and spacious when listening to these Polk speakers. Over three rows of speakers are on the sound stage We are now in D. This is amazing! Honestly, I have no idea what I have been missing all I am very satisfied with the clarity of the vocals. It is great to listen to acoustic music. There is a certain amount of hit and miss when it comes to electronic music (metal, rap, etc. ). If you plan to use a subwoofer, you must have one. As well as movies, they are perfect. They're behind an AT screen behind which I have three of them. Using your wall as a enclosure is only a downside since it is set up inside your home. Their phone numbers are not dialed The fit is perfect. To compensate for this, I use the foam plug insert. A suspension sound system essentially becomes an acoustic system.

A Polk Speaker of excellent quality The center channel is used as a guide
5/5

From a previous less expensive center channel that was failing to capture low frequency dialogue, we upgraded now. Thanks to Polk Speakers, I heard my favorite song! I installed this speaker with ease, and it is flush to the wall with a magnetic cover that holds it firmly in place with 36 tiny magnets built into the outer frame. The cover can be painted, and we plan to match the wall color in our theater room with the cover. Additionally, we will purchase more speakers to replace the right and left speakers at the same time. The best part about this is Polk has an upgraded version of this speaker that is the same size as this one, so upgrading requires no further drywall cutting! Polok did an excellent job on this speaker design!.

A quality product for in-store use It is possible to have speakers on the wall
4/5

Having argued with my wife for quite some time, I finally agreed to get rid of the 20 years old Wharfedale Valdus 400 towers that are "taking up My estimate would be 265 if I did not compare the sound The security system works well, especially given that the sensors are hidden inside Polk sounds like Chiwhia on German Shepherd. It is crisp and deep, but unfortunately that is not how it sounds to me when compared with my old towers. The movie theater setup is probably very good for this. It is only now that I will take into consideration having subcontractors The subwoofer. My dear Wharfie, farewell.
