Polk Audio RC80i 2-Way Premium In Ceiling Speakers 8" Round (Set of 2) Perfect for Damp and Humid Indoor/Outdoor Placement - Bluetooth Ceiling Speakers

Yeah, you just can't beat these guys for the price and the sound. I use them as Atmos speakers in my home theater room. They sound great and almost disappear into a white ceiling. Super easy installation. The directional tweeters offer a nice level of sound adjustment you just won't get with a fixed tweeter. My room is on the smaller side, so I only needed a pair of them. Well worth the money. They would also work well as stand alone ceiling audio speakers.

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 8” 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, it’s 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

Easy install and great sound.

I recently completed the install of Polk's RC80i speakers. I purchased them based on the good reviews on this site. Observations: The template that comes for cutting the hole in the ceiling drywall was right on. Use the small "inner" circle of the template to trace your cutting line. The outer circle is for masking the speaker grille for painting. Use a drywall jab saw to make your cut, after making sure the attic space is clear of obstacles.Cut on the outside edge of your pencil line, then the speaker will fit the hole perfectly. If you hold a vaccum up near your cutting, the drywall dust will be sucked up and the mess is almost a non-issue. I built speaker boxes from 1/2" plywood and lined them with acoustical foam and put them in the attic to protect the speakers from the blown-in insulation as well as improve the sound quality. Removal of the speaker grilles were much easier than I had read in the reviews. Take the speakers out of the shipping box, holding them in your hand, you can flex the edge of the speaker just enough that the grilles will pop right off. However, I left the grille off after installing them in the ceiling until I could check to make sure my tweeter was aimed properly. Removal of the grille once the speakers are installed in the ceiling would not be as easy. Once everything checked out OK, I popped the grilles in place. I painted the grilles to match my ceiling, using a 4" foam roller. Go light with the paint and the small holes in the grille will not clog. A needle can be used to open any holes that do clog. The grilles blend in very well, some people have not even noticed them. I am very pleased with the sound quality of these speakers. We decided to go with ceiling speakers to free up floor space. We had rear speakers sitting on the floor prior to this. I am amazed at how much more sound we hear from the speakers mounted above and behind us rather than on the floor. We have them located about four feet behind us and about four feet outside our setting area. With the tweeters aimed at the center of our listening zone. It's a great setup. I would defintiely reccomnd these speakers to anyone wanting a quality speaker for a reasonable price.

Easy to install, great sound with plenty of bass and clear sound

There is a sparkling sound coming from one of the speakers when I play music. It has just been 2 months. Can you please help to replace the speaker?

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

Amazing speakers for ceiling!! Go for it!
