Featuring a dynamic balance woofer and an aimable 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter, these moisture-resistant speakers deliver rich, room-filling audio while seamlessly integrating into your dΓ©cor with paintable grilles. Easy to install and built to last, the RC65i is ideal for home theaters, bathrooms, kitchens, and covered porches, offering audiophile-quality sound without sacrificing style or space. ## Description From the Manufacturer The Polk Audio RC65i 2-way In-wall Speaker delivers incredible sound to any room in your home without using any floor or shelf space. The RC65i is easy to install, requiring only that you cut a hole, feed the wires through, and simply drop the speaker in where it is held in place by rotating cams that safely secure the speaker with no extra assembly or mess. Once installed, the paintable grille and flange allows this in-wall speaker to virtually disappear in the room. The Polk RC65i utilizes a 6.5-inch dynamic-balance, mineral filled polymer-composite cone with a rubber surround that outlasts cheaper foam surrounds, as well as a 0.75-inch dynamic-balance, metalized soft dome tweeter with a swivel mount. The swivel-mounted tweeter is aimable for direct high frequency control that ensures spacious imaging with amazing clarity, and well-balanced sound in any listening position, even off-axis listening positions, rather than in just a small sweet spot. Constructed of durable, moisture resistant materials, the RC65i is safe for use in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, or even under outdoor eaves, and features a wide-dispersion design for even sound-coverage throughout even large rooms. The RC65i also features infinite baffle tuning which uses the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response, and is timbre-matched to the Polk Audio Monitor Series for seamless, enveloping imaging when used in a home theater system. Product Description This Polk RC65i in-wall speaker brings immersive, room-filling sound without visible bulk, making it ideal for homeowners and home theater enthusiasts seeking an audiophile experience. These polk speakers feature a 6-1/2-inch Dynamic Balance woofer for robust bass and a 3/4-inch swivel tweeter that directs highs across the room. That surround speakers capability pairs seamlessly with your existing home theater system, dispersing accurate audio to every seat. Installation remains simple: wire, insert, tighten the rotating cams, and snap the paintable grille into place. Rugged stainless hardware and a powder-coated aluminum grille ensure dependable indoor service; for outdoor applications, choose Polk’s Atrium line. Review: Best Bang for the Buck! - I'm an Audio Engineer by trade. I purchased 4 sets of these because desertcart was throwing in the 8" subwoofer and I couldn't be more pleased. I created a 7.1 environment. One speaker didn't get used but whatever. I paid under $600 for the entire setup with shipping n' all that. Forget paying the $300+ for a center speaker. IF you have all of the same, then the timber of the should should be even. When I score films, I use the same speaker types for the 5.1, 6.1, 7.1. Installation: The installation was a walk in the park! I had to cut into a wall stud to make the center speaker fit but that was the hardest and most time consuming part. Installing them in the dry wall took all of a few minutes for the 3 speakers (L/R/C). I do recommend getting some insulation and putting that in first before you install your speakers. It dramatically increases the performance and sound. The wall I was installing them in didn't have any so I went up in the attic and cut out some small pieces from a part of my ceiling. IT worked like charm. :-) Once those were done we cut into the ceiling and started installing them there. Those were a little tricky because in some parts I had Drywall and in another I had some form of concrete or something like that. It had wires n' all that. After we broke through it (extremely messy) the installation of those speaker went just as smooth as the others. Just had to patch and paint a little but it wasn't too much of a pain. Running the wires weren't too much of a pain. There was a closet on the other side so I just drilled a hole and ran the speaker wires into the closet. THEN I drilled another larger whole over by the receiver and ran all of the wires through that. I have an attic so when I ran the wires from the ceiling ones, I drilled another whole in the closet (top) and dropped all of the wires down form there and then into the larger hole by the receiver. Eventually I'm going to use wall plates but I didn't have them and I was too excited! I recommend getting 200 feet of speaker wire. Be liberal with it because more wire is better than less wire. These speakers have tweeters that can be angled. I recommend you angle them to your listening position. Sound: Once I turned on the receiver I said "oh... I guess it sounds ok". Then I started to justify it... "I only paid $500 for it so I get what I pay for...". DON'T GO DOWN THAT STREET! I started to play with the receiver (Sony) and I started tweaking the levels: FLAT EQ and adjust volume settings according to your room. FOR THE RECORD, LOUD BASS doesn't mean your system is good. You want to have an even sound. The bass will stand out but too much bass can really mess up the listening experience. Anywhoo, after making the adjustments I realized that I was watching my regular cable 1080i on an OLD movie that didn't really have too much 5.1 let alone 7.1, SO I did some tests: ** Avatar: 4 of 5 - I liked it a lot but it didn't have enough for me. The speakers performed very well. I had it about a quarter of the way up in total volume. No issues... ** G.I. Joe: 4 of 5... Explosions, lasers, sword fighting the works! I was starting to get hooked on the speakers! I had this one turned up about half way because I wanted to hear all the crazy stuff that goes on in the fighting scenes. Speakers performed very well ** Star Trek: 5 of 5... They did a WONDERFUL job on this. In this movie I cranked the speakers up about half way as well. It was "loud" but no fatigue or signs of distortion. ** 2010: 5 0f 5... This movie had so much CGI and destruction I just had to try it. This was cranked up about 3 quarters of the way up. It was LOUD but you can REALLY HEAR EVERY SPEAKER in the 7.1 playing something different. AWESOME TEST! The speakers held in there and at that point I was satisfied completely satisfied with my purchase. Conclusion: The 7.1 (Polk RC65i and the 8" sub) is a WONDERFUL combination. I'm very pleased with the performance and sound. I would recommend this particular configuration to anyone looking. You will not be disappointed. Make sure you get the right receiver that puts out the right amount of wattage. I have a Sony STR-DH810. It puts out enough power to do these speakers justice. Onkyo makes some good ones as well. If you under power these speakers you WILL lose out on sound. GET A GOOD RECEIVER WITH THE RIGHT POWER. If your room is larger and you decide to get the 8" version of these speakers, get a larger sub like a 12". The others will go deep enough to capture most of what your looking for and you can tweak the larger subs crossover and have it push out the REALLY low frequencies. I hope this helps anyone out there looking! Review: Look great, sound great, easy to install. - Purchased four 6.5 inch rectangular units to replace bookshelf speakers in my home theater. Audiophiles may find issue with the sound, but they sound great to me. Bass may be lacking, I have dedicated subs for that so I can't speak to that. I have two for each left/right and two in parallel for center since wall studs prevented a single center channel speaker in the correct place. Next sale I'll get two more for surrounds. PRO TIP: Use the mounting screws to push off the covers prior to install, don't try and pull off the covers with a paper clip. PRO TIP: If you have to remove from the wall, slowly unscrew the mounting screws with a screw driver, constantly twisting back and forth to detect when they are free to swivel out of the way. If you just go nuts with a screw gun, don't be surprised if the tabs come off and drop down the wall. ## Features - BIG SOUND, SMALL FOOTPRINT – Get rich, room-filling surround sound from in wall speakers that disappear into your wall, perfect for music and movies and creating a home theater experience - IMMERSIVE SOUND, RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT IT – A Dynamic Balance polypropylene woofer and a swiveling 0.75” silk dome tweeter fill your space with rich, full-bodied sound; polk audio speakers perfectly aimed for your listening spot - BUILT FOR ANY SPACE – Whether it’s a steamy bathroom or a busy kitchen, this architectural loudspeaker for home audio speakers is made with moisture-resistant materials to keep the music going in humid environments - BLENDS RIGHT IN – The paintable grille lets these disappearing wall & in-wall speakers match your dΓ©cor, so you’ll notice amazing sound.
