Our take on the Polk Audio PB 65

by Ralph Graves

These pre-construction brackets are designed to hold Polk's RC65i in-wall speakers. Use the included wings to attach the bracket to wall studs before the drywall goes up. Polk provides brackets, gaskets, and all the hardware you'll need to do a quick and easy installation.

    OK for New Construction

    Written By Matt, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, January 25, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I used these before the drywall went up. They are just ok...very flimsy, and the screws
    that come with them to attach to the wood studs are awful. Use drywall screws or buy
    some wood screws to attach to studs.

    low value

    Written By gardner, des moines, IA on Wednesday, January 20, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    You'll spend more time installing and adjusting these brackets than the actual speakers. For the price, you get some molded plastic, which seem to be relatively low cost to produce. When installing the machine screws that hold the brackets together, strip and loosen easily, then when you screw in the drywall style screws to the studs, the bracket gets pulled out of level or square, as the screw drifts in the wood. The screws that came with it, will break off w/ minimal torque, so discard those and use drywall screws. If the whole bracket and side wings were molded one piece, it would be better. I liked the PB85 style better. Installing the bracket before drywall will cause you to have to cut and line up the drywall hole precisely with the bracket, but if you skip the bracket and cut the hole in the drywall later, then the hole position is less critical. I also installed a pair of RC65i without brackets in existing drywall, and cut the hole in the same amount of time as installing brackets elsewhere.
