thanks Mrs. Polk

If you use the stud finder, you may find me.

[@mjoet731]

Sunday Bloody Sunday~!

[@jakebryant5829]

What is the recommended wire for these speakers? Also how do they attach to the drywall? Are their clips on back side when tighten the screws?

[@Dancyrobot]

Any speaker wire should do fine, I used 14 gauge wire. The speaker has self deploying wings that clamp to the backside of the drywall when you turn the front facing screws. It’s similar to an Old work electrical box, you turn the screws and winglets flip out to clamp the box in place. Super easy.

Can we cut a concrete ceiling to fit these speakers. My only concern is the speakers back would be exposed in my neighbours condo floor.and wiring would run in his floor.

[@parikshah]

Can the bezel be painted in addition to the grille?

[@rizalirawan608]

Can i use for speaker atmos?

[@thepar7575]

yes

[@ROBERT-ml7ml]

No

[@hellorsanjeev11]

I may be wrong but atmos is a sound signal that has to be correctly understood by AVR. I believe any speaker would do. The 45° rule is for perfectionists. A lot of people are using them for atmos, including me.

Ha bárhol vágok a plafonba egy lyukat,akkor pont ott lesz egy nekem megfelelő drótocska?

[@darrinfyfe7728]

Ummm. Maybe use the stud finder to make sure you don't draw the circle over a stud. It would suck to find out after starting the cut.

[@Dancyrobot]

Good tip.

[@rhodycars6058]

I am going to install these into a drop ceiling. I have the circular strapping to support the speaker but do I need to do anything else in back of the speaker? Insulation etc.

[@MrJjburgess11]

I'm installing these also this weekend. I bought some egg crate sound insulated foam I'm gonna put under the floor. To help keep the sound in. Mine are going into a drop ceiling in my basement. And don't want the sound going up to the next floor too much.

[@Dancyrobot]

They’re open-back speakers so putting some kind of sound dampening material over the back would be recommended if there is a floor above the speaker, I.e., another room above the speaker. I didn’t have that issue but I cleared away a bit of the attic insulation from mine just in case the sound was enough to move stuff around.

"You may realize that I'm not wearing my safety glasses, but I have glasses on so my eyes are protected." That's not how it works...

[@eshwar6969]

woman moment

[@syoung20001]

It is where I work. If you wear glasses you don’t need to where safety glasses. You’re a legend in your own mind I’m sure 🤡

[@huerta25264]

why do you wear your backpack while installing stuff?

[@muddyfunker3014]

I'd love you to come round and install some kit at my place. Doubt we'd get much done 😂

[@nathansharma4810]

Can I install these in wall instead of in ceiling?

[@darrinfyfe7728]

Yes. I did.

[@jean-christophehoule3669]

Can you use these speakers with the app or you absolutely need an amplifier?

[@darrinfyfe7728]

You need some kind of amp to run them. They are not powered.

[@mikeypardue2866]

I use the Sonos s2 amp

[@lyleherstein]

I have a drop ceiling with a total of 3 inches of space to the outside edge of the drywall. Will these fit ?

[@darrinfyfe7728]

Not likely. 3.5 is just enough.

[@ppha0244]

Do these speakers need power supply?

[@AVGearShop]

No. They are connected using regular speaker wire.

[@lelechim]

I need to pre-wire my ceiling first 🙁 How to do that?

[@TheLeetsquad]

Run the wires.

[@lelechim]

@@TheLeetsquad I ended up deciding not to do this because the duct system wouldn't allow me to place the speakers where I wanted them 🙁

[@TheLeetsquad]

@@lelechim fug that sucks!!

[@k-pak6257]

You simply remove your entire ceiling, run wire, and put your ceiling back.

[@lionfromjam7282]

Who else came here to see her?..

[@Lowkey_nxthxn]

Definitely me cause she cute to and it’s also different seeing females do this

[@hugoyanez2884]

Are these Bluetooth?

[@dinamikhailenko7683]

No, they are not, just good passive speakers :)

[@thepar7575]

no hard wired

[@Liam_Maddog]

@@thepar7575 Hence the wire.

[@errolsimon4887]

Couldn’t concentrate on the installation the installer was too cute

[@anthonyulibarri3690]

Big mistake, you forgot to mention how to remove the speaker screen.

[@IvanRossS]

What's up with white balance?..video looks awful

[@marecki2576]

HOT

[@kevonmanuel]

When I see women doing these kinda things, I feel ashamed of being a man. I just don't like this handy man stuff.

[@Slyder695]

hate to notice but... showing how to install speaker is good but don't lie saying it is your home and it's prewired. Can clearly this was set up for a demo, nobody installs drywall on a 3' layout or whatever is going on up above. You needed more than safety glasses, a hard hat would be good as well, luckily the ceiling didn't come on you the way that drywall was bouncing while cutting your circle

[@alexandravillanueva7917]

Oh my lanta
