Awesome
James from Benbrook, TX on 5/4/2023
Crisp and clear sound even at very high volume. Bass is not as deep as my DVC Niles of the same size, but for this price, they are excellent speakers.

Amazing sound and stereo sep from a single speaker.
Robert from OAKLAND, CA on 2/12/2022
Never used a single stereo speaker before, and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about the sound this could produce. My master bathroom doesn't have enough ceiling space to comfortably put in two 6 inch speakers, so I opted for this. (Also because it is a humid environment, I needed something that could take it - this qualified for that as well.) I have been really pleasantly shocked at both the sound quality and the stereo separation produced by this little guy. If you have the room, of course, stay with separate L/R speakers, but if one cutout is your only option, this thing is perfect.
Pros: Easy install, moisture resistant, great stereo separation, nice sound
Cons: Mid-level performance on bass, but I would expect that from a 6" that is doing double duty as a L/R

Great whole home audio speaker
Crutchfield customer from Aledo, TX on 6/13/2021
Simple install and good stereo sound for whole home audio (with 4-wire conductors). Ordered three initially and was impressed enough to purchase two more to round out the system.
Pros: Easy install Stereo from single speaker
Cons: Bass is a bit thin, might want to complement with a powered sub in large areas

John from DOVER on 10/27/2019
I ordered and compared the Focal 100 IC 6-ST to the Polk RC6s for my bathroom application. From the standpoint of sound quality: the Polk is a good speaker (4 stars), but the Focal is better (5 stars), which validates the ~2x price difference for me. I was concerned that the Focal is rated to 60Hz compared to the Polk 40Hz, but I couldn't detect that the Focal was omitting any frequencies. In terms of other features: the Focal has more mounting options. You can swivel the tweeters once the speaker is installed (where as on the Polk you must rotate the whole unit in the ceiling). Also, the two grill options (circle or square) provided w/ the Focal was a nice touch. I initially planned to use the circle grill, but once mounted near my square bath fan I realized the square grill was a better choice for me. Thanks to my advisor, Hunter, I hope this review is helpful.
Pros: Very good budget-friendly option
Cons:

Great for rooms where you want a single ceiling speaker
Crutchfield customer from Mason, OH on 4/13/2019
I located one of these speakers in our aster bathroom and another in the laundry room. I drive both speaker with a Sonos amp that has only 45 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The speakers sound very good and are loud enough for the rooms where we located them. Very happy with their ability to create a sense of stereo in rooms where it is impossible to place other speakers.
Pros: Reasonable price Easy install Good to great sound
Cons: None seen

Perfect for my shower and master bath
Michael from Issaquah, WA on 3/14/2017
I purchased these for my walk in shower, master bath and also the kitchen so I needed something that could handle high moisture environments. The shower is large (4'x8') but not big enough for two speakers. I placed the speaker directly above the shower head and the sound is great. I aimed each of the tweeters off to the left and right. VERY impressive sound for a small tiled in space. This coupled with a wall mounted NILS water resistant volume control + the Sonos system was the ticket.
Pros: Moisture Resistant Good tremble separation Easy install in ceiling
Cons: None

Good sound solution for outside
Doc Mark from New Braunfels, Texas on 7/12/2015
I have used this speaker in my home for more than seven years. Recently I had to replace one thanks to painter induced damage! Polk still manufactures a fine speaker in the RC6S. I have 5 outdoors in covered locations and three inside in damp locations. All continue to provide excellent sound despite the heat and dampness for south Texas. Placed all the speakers in custom volume sound boxes for protection and better performance. Technical data provides optimal volume of such enclosures. Excellent value for the money.
Pros: Easy install, excellent long term performance, great for outdoors (covered) and damp locations (bathrooms).
Cons: None apparent.

bhb from White House, TN on 5/17/2015
I installed 4 of these speakers in my living room for a home theather experience. Unknowingly these are not the speakers I should have ordered as they each have the connections for right & left channels. I overlooked or the information wasn't clear at the time I placed the order. They work well and I have the sound I was going for.
Pros: Easy installation
Cons: The installation instructions don't cover my type of application, but they are not expected to be used connecting only one channel to each speaker so they function as I used them. Tech support helped with this and I could have returned for different speakers.

Speakers were just what we needed in our animal clinic. They are very easily to install in acoustic ceiling tiles, attractive, and sound great.

FR from Warrington, PA on 4/23/2012
Installed 2 of these in our kitchen/dining room re-model (13'x27'). Very good sound for in-ceiling speakers this size and price range. I will go back and install some more insulation in the surrounding cavaties to hopefully improve lower end and keep sound from traveling into upper rooms. Have only had them a short time (1 month) so rated at 4 rather then 5 for now. May be getting 2 more for master bedroom in the futrure.
Pros: Very good value. Good sound from small speaker. Lifetime warranty.

Great imaging, easy install
AaronB from Norwich, CT on 2/2/2012
I installed two RC6s recessed speakers in my living room and kitchen areas. The install was incredibly easy; use the included template to draw the opening and cut through with a drywall saw. Using the super simple torque tabs on the speaker all you have to do is push it up through the hole and use an electric driver or drill on the four screws. The built-in electronics flawlessly merge the left and right channels, which was critical for my application, and the sound quality and bass response are superb. I can recommend these speakers for any stereo recessed application.
Pros: Easy to install, superb sound quality, attractive removable and paintable grille.
Cons: I actually can't think of any.

Paul from San Francisco Bay Area on 3/30/2011
I installed this speaker in my small-ish bathroom and the sound quality is excellent, but I had hoped that the dual tweeters would provide a bit more spaciousness than they do. It sounds like a single speaker and it doesn't fill the space like I had hoped. In hindsight, I think I would buy a more traditional dual speaker set-up. I have a conventional set of Polk speakers in the ceiling of my kitchen and they sound great. As for the installation itself - about as simple as you can get. Running the speaker wires through the attic was the hardest part.

Excellent Small Space Speaker
Spencer from Fort Worth, TX on 9/10/2008
I bought 3 of these speakers; 1 for the master bath, 1 for the wife's closet, and a spare just in case. These are excellent speakers for the smaller areas of the house where a pair or left/right speakers just don't make sense. The sound quality is great and the power handling is sufficent for the area we are using them in. We enjoy listening to music and news/sports. They make a great speaker for filler if you just want some sound playing while you are getting ready for work or relaxing in the bath before bed. I can't say enough about how much we have loved and used these speakers. I am seriously thinking about adding more of them throughout the house.
