Pairing a 3/4" soft dome Dynamic Balance tweeter with a 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance woofer, the RC65i delivers powerful sound throughout the listening area, not just in a tiny "sweet spot." The swivel-mounted tweeters let you direct the high frequencies to fine-tune the best possible sound for your favorite listening positions. And Polk's Infinite Baffle Tuning takes advantage of the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response. Voice-matched to Polk's Monitor Series speakers, an RC65i pair makes a great set of surround speakers in a complete Polk home theater system. The rotating-cam design makes installation easy once you've prepared the opening in your drywall and run UL-rated wiring from your receiver, you can secure this flush-mount speaker with a few turns of a screwdriver. And you can paint the white matte grilles to match any decor. An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the RC65i in a home with new construction.

Features Mounting Options Specifications Features Dynamic Balance Technology: Dynamic Balance drivers are used for wide, smooth response and low distortion. Woofers: Each speaker features a 6-1/2" Dynamic Balance, mineral-filled polypropylene woofer for clean midrange and deep, accurate bass. For a smoother response and improved durability, each woofer uses a rubber surround. Tweeters: Each speaker uses a 3/4" Dynamic Balance, metalized soft dome tweeter in a ball-and-socket swivel mount. The aimable tweeters give you direct high-frequency control, resulting in excellent imaging even for off-axis listening positions. Infinite Baffle Tuning: Infinite Baffle Tuning uses the virtual enclosure of in-wall space for superior bass response. Moisture-resistant: Durable, moisture-resistant materials allow you to install the speakers in bathrooms, kitchens, saunas, even under outdoor eaves. Monitor Series Timbre-matched: These speakers are timbre-matched to the Polk Audio Monitor Series for seamless, enveloping imaging when used in a home theater system. Mounting Options Installation: Each speaker requires a cutout 7.3125" wide and 10.75" high with a depth of 2.407" behind the drywall. Once the holes are cut, each speaker can be dropped in and the Rotating Cams can be tightened, allowing you to secure each speaker to the drywall without any extra assembly. If you will not be mounting these speakers in drywall, make sure the wall or ceiling material can safely support the weight of the speakers before installation; each speaker weighs approximately 3.75 pounds. Paintable: The grille and flange can be painted, allowing these speakers to match any decor.

I discovered a bonus extra stud in the wall where one did not belong and i ended up right next to it. it would have been very handy if the tabs could have positioned up and down and not just to the side. a large paddle bit and some boring-out later... i was back in business with horizontal-only mounts. also, the mounting tabs and tab guide sleeves are plastic-only and not incredibly durable through multiple mountings. while the above sounds negative, i still completely recommend these. they sound great, the other side which did not have any surprise obstructions mounted quickly and flawlessly and they are painted to blend in to the wall color which is a big win with my wife. Pros: great sound, decent build, paintable bezel and screen looks great. Cons: more flexible and durable mounting options would be appreciated Was this review helpful?

Installation took 20 minutes (very simple). The quality of the sound is what I expected (good). Together with my Outlaw LFM-1 Compact subwoofer and Onkyo TX8555 receiver I have a very good 2.1 stereo system. The speakers are good quality and great value. I did not want to go with larger and more expensive speakers because I wanted to use existing ceiling cuts from the old speakers. Was this review helpful?

I am using them for TV speakers in stereo with a 5.1 receiver. High and mid tone is very nice. Fills the room. Needs a sub woofer if you want the best sound.
