User questions & answers

Question:	How many watts can these speakers handle
Answer:	20-100 watts RMS
Question:	what is the difference between the 6.5 inch vs the 8 inch versions
Answer:	The tweeters are exactly the same between the two. The 8" model has a larger woofer and therefore will provide better bass reproduction (i.e., deeper low end bass). The reason for the different sizes is sometimes the spacing distances between the ceiling joist and wall studs will dictate which one you can use . If your wall studs or ceiling joist are on 16" centers then get the 8"... if they are on 12" centers you'll have to settle for the 6.5". Hands down... if you have the room get the 8". Just FYI: The 8" version outsells the 6" version 2 to 1.
Question:	How much sound is transferred to the room above? I'm installing in a basement ceiling below a bedroom
Answer:	Depends on the construction of the house. I would Place a bat of fiberglass insulation behind the speaker if there is no insulation in the ceiling. This will reduce the transmission of sound upstairs , and improve the sound of the speaker in the room it's installed.
Question:	Do these speakers have open backs? Do they come with enclosures
Answer:	This is actually a great question. As the others have said, the backs are open, which is typically not an issue when installing into a wall or ceiling. HOWEVER...if you install into a ceiling that has blown insulation above it (the loose cellulose kind, not the rolled fiberglass kind) then you WILL want to come up with your own way of keeping the loose insulation off the backs of the speaker. If you don't (as I didn't the first time I bought these) then over time the quality and volume of the sound will lessen because of the insulation working into and pressing against the cones. I had to replace one set because of this problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would these fit a cut made for a RC80i? Thinking of replacing my two rears with these but dont want to plaster or cut
Answer:	The cutout size is the same 9.375 inches or 23.81 cm. I am using a bracket for installation and the bracket size is the same for both models
Question:	What is the part number of the proper pre-construction bracket for the MC80? Thanks
Answer:	As far as I know you do not need pre-construction brackets you just need a wall that has sheetrock and you can clamp them directly to the wall.
Question:	What is the diameter cutout inches for the ceiling
Answer:	Depth 4.2 inDiameter 9.4 inWeight 3.53 lbs
Question:	How does this model compare to the Polk RC80i
Answer:	From what i could tell, for a ceiling and wall speaker the RT series would be the one i would start with if i had all ceiling and wall speakers and wanted a premium polk speaker. You can go to polk's website and email them, to discuss your specific layout, which was what i did, and they responded within a couple of hours. The RT's have built in enclosures so they probably sound as close to standard speakers as you are going to get with in/wall or in/ceiling speakers. For my setup, i have actual polk bookshelf speakers that i built into a wall with a utility space behind it for the front and centers, and these do sound much better than the MC80s in the ceiling - as far as a complete sound - i think if i didn't have the bookshelfs and/or a subwoofer (which i also have) i wouldn't consider the sound of either the MC80s or RC80is when mounted in a ceiling to be a real complete or great sounding speaker for accurate music reproduction. The MC80s worked great as surround sound speakers for my setup, but the fullness of sound, especially on the low end does not match a bookshelf or floor polk speaker.
