Questions & Answers
Honestly, this is one of the best questions I've ever heard. In addition, the backs are open, so they often do not pose a problem when mounted indoors in fact, the reverse is true as well. Despite that, however. If the speaker is mounted in a ceiling that has blown insulation above it (the loose cellulose kind, not the rolled fiberglass kind), then you will need to devise your own method of keeping the loose insulation away from the speaker's back. The sound will significantly decrease in quality and volume over time if you do not (as I failed to do the first time I bought these), since the insulation will press against the cones and make them more difficult to drive. A set of the speakers had to be replaced because of this issue.
The RMS power is 100 watts
A house is built depending on its construction. If there is no insulation in the ceiling, I would place a bat of fiberglass insulation behind the speaker. By reducing sound transmission from upstairs, and improving the quality of the speaker in the room where it is installed, we will improve audio quality.
There is no difference between the tweeters This 8" model features a larger woofer and therefore does a better job reproducing bass frequencies (i.e. Bass that is deeper and has a lower treble). Different sizes are required for different applications based on the spacing between the ceiling beam and the wall studs. You will need to install the 8" if your wall studs or ceiling joists are 16" apart. You'll have to settle for the 6" centers if they are on 12" centers. The fifth one. I put my hand up. The 8" would be a great choice if you have the space. I just thought I should let you know In the 8" version, the 6" version is outsold by two to one.

Usually, they don't live up to their hype, but they do this time. Even though I am a true audiophile, I also have realistic expectations when it comes to outdoor wall-mounted speakers You can mount speakers on the wall. Those are the ones I bought to mount high on the walls of my covered patio. *For indoor and outdoor use On a wall/inside The installation of speakers in the ceiling of a non-auditorium The position is excellent and the sound is very good. The midrange is relaxed and smooth and the bass is strong. When I first began to listen to them, they sounded 'just ok', kind of hard and muffled. However, after a day of moderate volume playing, they began to open The typical way to do things. Yet, I still found it to be a little shocking. You should give them a good crank and let them play for a day or two before giving them a critical appraisal. It is not clear to me why you would use a spring These should be cut off at the speaker input. It would be better if we used simple spades. When it comes to soldering something into a ceiling or wall, I prefer it. It is best not to disconnect and reconnect too often if you use spring clips. This also makes it almost impossible to weatherproof. I gave the spring clip terminals one star less because they're stupid.
In the 10 years since the album's release, they have continued to make music and movies. Five of these speakers are installed in the ceiling as surround speakers for a seven-channel system that I have. The system consists of one component. My speakers sound great even now, nearly 10 years after I installed them.
I really enjoy the sound of these speakers. Once you figure out where to place them, they are very easy to install. With my attic space above my great room, I was able to make sure there were no obstructions in my desired locations, so I had the capability of doing a self-install. The project turned out great! It would be a great idea to hear.
Just so we don't find ourselves paying the builder too much for the installation of A Polk bookshelf speaker sounds great to me, and I've had them for many years. The highs are extremely crisp and clear. Having bought the speakers before listening to them, it appears my assumptions were correct Polk is known for putting quality into all their speakers, whether small or large. I found these to be easy to install, and they sound wonderful. From a small speaker, you get great highs and mid-ranges as well as a decent amount of bass. I am extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend it.
The kitchen is now equipped with these. I liked their packaging, how easy they were to install, and how durable they are. I like that the tweeter can be aimed at different directions. Neither these speakers nor freestanding monitors can reproduce the sound quality of bookshelf speakers or freestanding monitors, but what they're meant for is something else. This is not a subwoofer, so it does not have low end frequencies. Adding it to your website is a great idea The best solutions for casual music listening at home. Using these speakers to listen to music in the kitchen, bathroom, and garage would be a great idea. The speakers won't be up to the task of being used in a home theater setup. You'll have to spend a lot more on speaker equipment that will do that.
Thus, if you purchase the book, you will get Regardless of whether it has been opened, you own it. Consequently, an 8" speaker is not an 8 inch speaker, but rather a driver with a housing equal to a 10 inch speaker. It probably wouldn't matter, but I wish to replace the speakers in an RV and would not like.
". I love music and like surround sound, and these things serve a good function. For the most part, these are great and look better in our living rooms than a bunch of four foot tall black boxes. It was relatively easy to install. In the manual, it says to stick a cork screw in the middle of the grille to remove it, so that's what This caused the hole in the grille to warp as a result of how I pulled it A good way to remove the grille is to slightly lift (with a corkscrew) on the very edge hole and then rotate, pick another hole, and lift some more (like opening a can of paint My Polk dealer sent me a free grille to replace the one I ruined. When I called to request a new grille, I expected to pay a few bucks but I didn't have to pay a penny!.
The Yamaha RX-90 I used was To listen to music in the kitchen, use the A880 to power it for Zone 2. There is a lot of mud in the sound. As I thought something was wrong with the old Denon 3805 receiver, I connected the new Denon zone 2 to it. However, even with the help of the BSR, the sound still sounds terrible An equalizer with a graphic equalizer of 3000. I find it to be an inferior speaker to the Logitech Z130. At the time I purchased it, I had no idea this speaker came out over ten years ago. The ATMOS feature is not included in this. Directly under the speaker is the only way to hear it because the dispersion is weak. You can't expect it to meet Dolby's 45 degree recommendation.
