1.0 out of 5 stars Plastic surround cracks and breaks after only two years of installation, rendering speaker useless

2026-01-30    -Todd and Kristin R.

I purchased 12 pair of these and was very happy with the sound quality for the price. They were great for whole house audio. Unfortunately, the cheap plastic they use for the mounting surround cracks and falls apart after only a couple of years. I now have to replace the entire lot as they are inoperable due to the broken plastic and are falling out of my ceiling. Do not buy these!!

Ho fatto il reso.

Purtroppo dovuto fare il reso. Mi è sfuggito che era senza bluetooth.Nel descrizione erano 17 cm, in realtà quasi 30. Non mi poteva servire a questa misura purtroppo.Non posso valutare il prodotto perché non avevo provato.Arrivato in anticipo e imballaggio integro.

Donnern stattlich für ihre Größe.Hab sie rund 24h lang auf ihrer Leistungsgrenze betrieben, bis sich die Nachbarn bemerkbar gemacht haben, und mich fragten, ob alles in Ordnung ist. Wie aufmerksam!Magnet wird mit der Zeit bei Vollgas handwarm, aber das ist normal.Haben gut durchgehalten.Speaker hat spezifischen Widerstand von 7,8 Ohm. RMS Leistung um die 140W, 300W peak.

Nice speakers - great sound. Using them in a ceiling mount for a small fitness studio. Installed easily into the drop down ceiling. And were inexpensive as well. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to add sound into a surface installation.

If you are looking at these speakers, you are most likely not an audiophile willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a speaker. And I am here to tell you that these are great sounding speakers that are reliable and well-worth the price they are asking.We installed a pair of these in a situation where they would need to be playing music 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. And they have been doing just that since February 2013.Price is right, quality is right. Look no further than these for in-ceiling (or in-wall) speakers. These are the ones for you.

These are great speakers, the tweeter can be directed after installation or at any time without removal of the metal cover grill. Very powerful speakers that provide excellent sound and finish quality. I purchased the 8" ones and glad I did over the smaller ones. I was worried about appearance, but painting them before installation, made them almost disappear into the ceiling.Never installed these before, here is what I learned in the process:1). To remove metal cover grill: Sit on couch, invert speaker onto lap, swing locking clips toward center, push top of tab to force off metal cover grill while holding speaker just off your lap. POP!2. Paint metal cover grill and outer plastic flange before installing. I used a small roller (light paint saturation) to match texture of ceiling. Do two coats. Use a big needle or small tack to clear any paint-filled holes. Once painted, they almost disappear into the ceiling.3. Make a fist sized hole in the center of where you plan to have your speakers and reach in to confirm that you don't hit any rafters or blocking BEFORE you make your larger cut-out. You may be unpleasantly surprised and may need to shift your location, so don't make the big hole until you are sure all is clear. The clip/locking tabs need clearance all around (about 1/2").4. Paper cut-out template provided is a bit undersized (thank you Pyle for making it sturdy cardboard and pre-cut), they probably imagine self-installers are not so careful. Cut it atleast 1/8" bigger all around.5. To avoid damage to your finished sheetrock during cut-out operation: use a dremel tool to cut thru the paper layer of the sheetrock completely or do multiple passes with a mat knife. Otherwise you risk spalling off large chips of sheetrock which you don't want to patch back. To reseat any chips flaked during agressive sawing, keep elmers glue handy to patch back smaller chips on the finished side as you go. Then drill out a 3/8" or larger hole in center and near edges to insert your sheetrock saw.6. Most likely you will cut the sheetrock slightly off-vertical on the cut line, so use your saw and go back to straighten the cuts.7. Carefully wash you hands before final installation of speaker.8. Test each speaker before installation. **This probably should be item #1.You won't regret doing this work (less than an hour not counting crawling thru the attic), the payoff of these speakers is huge. Verisimilitude confirmed when all our pets completely freaked out by the quality of the surround sound for very low investment. Enjoy.

These were well protected when arrived. I ordered 3 pairs. All parts were included. They were certainly easy to install, like 2 minutes. You will spend more time prepping for the install, for sure. Just remember that the fruits of your labor will be awesomeness!! My ceiling (LUCKILY!!) was pre wired so I just needed to measure, remeasure, and measure again, for good measure and then cut some big holes and there's a template for that. I took some photos because I was, admittedly, dreading cutting such seemingly large holes (9 3/8" for the 8" speaker) all around into my ceiling but eventually my procrastination subsided and I got right down to business. Everything went smooth and the only incident that I had was the grille popped off when I was bumpin the room (BUT it was MY fault---don't forget to put the included putty glue stuff in there like it says in the directions! ;) I had to go back up the ladder for that and probably because I think I know everything so I picture-book the directions just for familiarity.) At any rate, after I completed the directions entirely, these speakers bump. They are awesome no matter what type of music you listen to (I tried tons of kinds, just to be sure) and they are well balanced and perform stereo sound style. It didn't specify but from my past experiences with the materials, I'm nearly 99.97% that you can paint to match and they will keep the paint on. (I will be painting mine to match a tat better, regardless) I definitely recommend these. Pic Tips: Pic1and2: if you stick your phone thru the prewired area and turn your flash on and take a pic, you can kinda see what your doing and where to find studs. (I didn't use a stud finder. Don't forget to give speaker at least 1/2" distance from stud for the locking mechanism, although I didn't have enough room for one of my speakers because the builder or whoever pre wired, cut the square box right next to the stud. Regardless, I was able to strategically turn the speaker just so and it still locked in place just fine. Pic3: again, it is a big hole. Pic4: I recommend using this saw thing, it's cheap and has some teeth but doesn't chew. Pic5: if you see this metal thing, it bends back easily out of the way, and just keep sawing. And Pic6: final result, everything is flush and functioning beyond my expectation.
