Klipsch Ceiling Speaker Install and Review | CDT-5800-C II

[@gina4008]

Just installed my CDT-5800-C II, completing my 5.1.4 setup. Easy install. Wish I had a 'rotor zip" to cut out the hole (like the installer used in video) but made due with my hand saw. I'd say the most difficult was holding the speaker up inside the hole while screwing in that first screw, as those screws are long and it took a long time to manually screw in. I switched to using my power drill which made it MUCH easier and faster. After Dirac Live calibration, my system has come "Alive"...these speakers sound fantastic! I'm re-watching all my Atmos movies with a new set of ears! BTW, I'm a 73 year young female and proud of what I've accomplished!

[@housestuff]

That's awesome, you got a whole new speaker setup!!

[@aplleyva]

Just had 4 CDT-3800-C ii's installed in my ceiling running a 7.2.2 set up. Have to say they sound great.

[@jbjgibbons]

I have 6 of those installed. Sound even better after they break in and loosen up.

[@212x3]

Remodeling kitchen, goes to youtube to check on speakers, finds dude having the same amp and speakers you're looking to buy... fucking nice.

[@Annamalaibatsha]

thanks, i just ordered mine today morning and waiting to receive. very excited

[@housestuff]

you should love them!

[@bigrichc8265]

Can't wait to see the house completed! Nice work

[@ramrandhawa2649]

Great video. Liked the natural style. Biting to split the the speaker cable & looking for the template. Love the bullet holes in your t-shirt. Cheers 🍺 🍺

[@blueflame0003]

I just bought 6 of those to install in my ceiling,can't wait to see if they are better then the audio acustics now in ceiling...great video...

[@Ryand0523]

Just wanted to ask if you have installed and used your 6 cdt-5800’s yet?

[@blueflame0003]

@@Ryand0523 only 4 i put up because my denon is only 13channel power the 14 and 15 channel i need to buy an amplifiers and while I'm at it i might as well get the anthem avm90...

[@chandrashekaravijaykumar]

Hi, great video. You said they don't accept banana plugs but you were using some media bridge banana plugs. Can you please share that product link? I don't see that in your description

[@MatveyTihonov]

What you think to us them for dolby atmos ?

[@Sean_y4k2l5]

thank you, seems like a good choice for atmos.

[@Canigetahandle154]

I didn’t see you connect the wires to the ceiling speaker. Is that a thing?

[@alwayslookin73]

Very detailed video about installation, thanks

[@housestuff]

no problem! Glad it was helpful

[@venkataghantasala9764]

Thank you, can I know if they are better than Sonos or Sonance ?

[@FirehouseSlots]

Are installation rings recommended for install?

[@honoura1]

What Amplifier will you recommend to use with this speaker? I just ordered 3 of them

[@MoneyHungryPicker]

Wow looks amazing! So you can just put them in ceiling and no box or anything required to prevent fires?

[@MarcusAuyrelius]

Hi, thank you for showing the process. I was wondering how you manage the cables from the amp to those speakers in the ceiling. I am thinking of installing ceiling speakers in my house and have a vaulted ceiling but also an open floor plan and I don't yet know how to do this. Thanks!

[@TheTrobin94]

Reach out to me. It's what I do for a living.

[@mummyjahliz3566]

What kind of subwoofer do u install with this ceilling speaker

[@terryfincham7252]

Did you find out about Sub, that's a question also on my mind, appreciate any feedback

[@JrandApril03]

I’ve seen other installs that use like a thin speaker foam in between the insulation. Is that necessary?

[@Ryand0523]

What if we have towers, bookshelf’s, and a center channel with at least 6 in ceiling atmos speakers, all from klipsh. (Klipsh rf-7 iii towers, klipsch rc-64 iii center, with klipsch bookshelf’s (I think they are the rp-600 or something….), and 6 or so klipsch 5800 Cii in ceiling speakers? Would that all work out to a good sounding atmos home theater?

[@davisbrady5145]

I would think that as long as your amp is powerful enough to drive that many speakers as hard as they should be, it would sound awesome

[@FreshlySnipes]

I am considering getting these for my house. How do you like them?

[@housestuff]

they still sound great!

[@michaelhinchey]

Do you think baffled speakers would be better suited for your needs?

[@darnellwilliams537]

How did you guys get the speakers to pair to a device when testing each one?

[@VoidariumComic]

I have a drop ceiling in my basement. Are these too heavy?

[@divinewisdom4883]

What type of wire connection is required for the Klipsch speaker? I only heard they don't accept banana plugs.

[@gregoryyoung9581]

Regular speaker wire. The banana plugs are optional and not needed

[@Roots_Sessions412]

planning on installing these in a drop ceiling that is made out of wood paneling. There is a large void between the original ceiling and the drop ceiling. I am wondering if I should build a little box for these that I can mount in the ceiling so the low end sounds better.. any thoughts?

[@housestuff]

No, they are designed for open air. Also I added a subwoofer in the corner of the room for the low end bass, sounds great

[@stevemoores510]

Don’t the terminals have a cap on the end you can remove for banana connections?

[@housestuff]

It looks like they do and I tried, but it didn't work

[@azraelspeaks]

Polks have a really flat sound that is heavy on mids. it is pretty much their "signature" as every Polk speaker will sound similar. Klipsch will have a much brighter high end and deeper low end with mids being lost at times. The louder you get the more "harsh" the high end will be. But, with that amp I am sure you can throw an EQ on it and get them to sound quite decent.

[@TLPagut]

Nice video! Can you link the receiver? I'm gonna add these and one of the Klipsch single stereo speakers to my new home and need 2 zone control.

[@badnbeardedcasey]

I really like the "toggle switch" type security feature on the speakers. It's alot like the plug in boxes too. I hate having plaster walls. Cool video.

[@TheNaturalSGO]

Great quality video. Anything else you've learned about these speakers you'd like to share after install and use?

[@RussManK3]

Would these be better in a box compared just throwing them in the ceiling?

[@housestuff]

I think these are designed specifically to be installed open air in a ceiling. If you wanted to go the box route, you could probably find much better speakers for less money to put in the boxes

[@pf5658]

They do make a back-box for these speakers.

[@meg-k-waldren]

How so you connect audio wire to this ceiling speaker. I see the speaker connecters terminal have a spring loaded push down motion but I cant get the audio wiring to stay. The twist connecters terminals are so much easier. Any advise?

[@pluggedev8464]

Why would you use an impact to put those in

[@housestuff]

because we're alpha males. We refused to let the screws dominate us

[@kamilsutkowski6759]

I know you should rely on a sub for the lows, but if you had to compare these to the polks for the low ends what would you say? I like deep base audio...

[@housestuff]

Yes the polks don't have as good of lows as the klipsch even without the sub. But a sub really would bring either system to life

[@Bryan-rw1ih]

Builder prewired with 16 gauge wire. Will that work for these?

[@housestuff]

Yea 16 should be more than enough to handle the wattage

[@KingofreeMen]

Me too. Quick Google search said yes if under 50' run.

[@nickysnacks]

Hey how’d you power these?

[@housestuff]

I just used a regular yamaha home receiver I had laying around. You could just use a cheap fosi audio bluetooth receiver if you just want them for music

[@carlobighouse5434]

My beard tips guy teaching speaker install... cool

[@FiletMyYawn]

“Depth is not really something related to sound”… 🤦‍♂️

[@realtouchpg]

It does accept banana clips
