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 8â 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, itâs 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

Great Ceiling Speakers
I have used 4 of these in a friends dental clinic and paired them with Sonos AMP and they are great value for money. Stream from Spotify and they don’s sound cheap.

Perfect ceiling speakers
Purchased 2 for Atmos surround in ceiling. Installation was easy with the supplied template. The sound is full and crisp and I highly recommend the product. Polk has excellent customer service as well as I had an issue with one of their subwoofers and they provided a replacement amplifier quickly and easily. Their 5 year warranty is legit.

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 tweeters
Cons:
-Open housing allows insulation in
-Spring loaded clips for wires
-No bass and sometimes muddy sound

This is an under rated speaker , it has good sound and tone , not tinny and descent bass and mid range , it all depends on the area that it is mounted into , insulation and other surrounding materials with impact on the sound quality! Also the grill covers can be adjusted without glue or silicone if you carefully bend out the area slightly that slots into the speaker itself, bend it ever so slightly in four or five spots ( outward) and slowly work the grill into the slot that holds the grill working it into place , this process snug fits the grill with falling out , simple and it works !

Las pedà con envÃo a Puebla y no tardo tanto en llegar. Se escuchan increÃble, use un amplificador de pared y el resultado fue muy bueno.
Las conecte a un amplificador más grande y adecuado y el resultado fue increÃble.
Las recomiendo totalmente, Polk siempre ha sido una buena marca.

I bought a 6.5â set of these for our bathroom about 4 years ago and have loved them ever since. The vocal clarity is superb and bass excellent. Great power too. It is only a Sonos amp that runs them but they are loud when you need them to be and zero distortion all the way up to the top. Iâve since replaced a set of speakers in a bedroom with the 8â version and they are fantastic speakers too. I would not hesitate to recommend these and in time, Iâll be buying another couple of sets for 2 other rooms . The video does not do them full justice as the phones mic canât capture the sound properly but at least itâll give you an ideaðð» Love them!!

I have these four pieces of home theater system (atmos 7.2.4) on the ceiling and I’m really pleased with the sound of the speakers. I recommend!
