Polk Audio RC80i 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair, White)

I am a big fan of Polk products and always have been. These speakers are no exception. I am using them as rear surround speakers, and they are perfect for the job. The sound is rish and undistorted. Being able to "aim" the tweeter was a nice bonus.

I recently installed 4 of these speakers in my family room for our surround sound system. I know, in-ceiling is not "ideal" as defined by the audiophiles...but for a regular guy in the real world, I say these work great. Dont read all the hype by home theater "experts"...well, not all of it anyway.

I have a large, very open family room, and these speakers easily fill the room with very nice sound quality. I've only listened to music so far, but I am thrilled with my decision to use these. Sound quality is great, and I dont have any ugly speakers hanging from my walls/ceilings. You mount these, and they all but disappear visually.

Installation...I laugh at some of the people on there talking about having some hard times with this or that. You get a template to use for cutting holes in the ceiling...use the right saw, and this is an easy process. Mounting them is even easier. Removing the grills the first time is simple...if you read the instructions on how to do it. Removing them later might be a bit trickier, but I wont need to get in there ever again, so who cares.

Great speakers, and a great price. Now stopping reading these reviews and just buy them.

We remodeled our kitchen and have these speakers in the wall opposite the work areas. They are the most wonderful part of the new kitchen. Listening to music with great sound makes kitchen work so much more fun. The electrician said they were easy to install, and the sound is great. They can be played loud enough to be heard in other rooms, and there is good bass and no distortion with all types of music. They sound good played quietly too. For the price you just can't go wrong. They sound as if they cost a lot more.

These speakers look great and sound great. I bought 4 sets of these to fill the house with. Super simple to install. Almost impossible to screw up installation. The speakers put out great sound and the adjustible angle of the tweeters make customization of sound easy. I would certainly buy these again.

I've installed four pair of polk RC series speakers and just wanted to expand on the comments about installation difficulty. Removing the grills with a paper clip as the directions suggest can be futile. I found an ice pick and a flat screwdriver used as a pry device to work very well. Be sure to insert the pick into a hole in the side of the grill. After I cut the first hole in the drywall I learned to favor the outside edge of the template and all the others went fine. I'm very happy with this product.
