User questions & answers

Question:	does it come with paintable grills
Answer:	Yes, it comes with paintable grills. Spray paint works best with multiple light coats that does not full up the pores. I have had these for a year. And they sound amazing. Enjoy!
Question:	Are these active speakers? Or do they need a Amp/receiver to work
Answer:	They are not active speakers. You will need an amplifier.
Question:	What size diameter hole needs to but cut
Answer:	Not sure of the size of the diameter of the holes, it does come with a template.
Question:	are these 2 way speakers
Answer:	Yes, these are two way speakers. They have a little tweeter in the middle, which are movable and can be tilted in any direction.
Question:	How is the speaker mounted? Can you describe the mounting bracket? I am installing it into a drywall ceiling
Answer:	There is no mounting bracket. Here's there step:1) You cut a hole in the drywall ceiling using the template provided with the speaker2) Remove the cover grill of the speaker to expose the interior.3) Attach speaker wires to the speaker through the hole. 4) Push speaker up into the hole, tighten 3 screws. When you tighten the screws, 3 catches will snap in place to secure the speaker to the drywall.5) Replace grill and you are done.Do take note that your speaker wires should not come close to any lighting wires in the ceiling or you might get interference when both are turned on at the same time. If possible, shield your speaker wires. Or use shielded wires. I am having some problem in my kitchen speakers because I did not consider that.All the best!!
Question:	Hi do the radio come with accessories
Answer:	no not that i know of. i have an older one, but all i got was a wall plug.
Question:	What does it take to recharge the battery
Answer:	You can use the AC adapter, can't remember if it is included. You can put your own batteries in or turn the crank a bunch to charge it. Good power outage radio.
Question:	were is the emergency weather channel located
Answer:	It is an emergency radio. That basically means that it can be used in emergency situations where there is no electricity available. During a power outage the Hand crank can be used to recharge the built-in battery so that the light, radio and features can be used. Tunes AM/FM and 2 shortwave bands, including weather radio channels which channel varies from market to market
Question:	Where ia this radio made
Answer:	This radio is German brand. Not entirely sure if it is indeed made in Germany though. The quality of the radio is fantastic and you won’t regret.
Question:	I would like an AC adapter, I see it should be 4.5v but is there any amperage or wattage requirement
Answer:	I use only batteries. However, a 4.5 volt DC power supply (transformer) with negative polarity. 200 milliamperes or more is specified. (Polarity must be correct). I am impressed with the hours of life which the batteries provide, though a few critiques on forums don't agree. My one complaint is that the volume knob on this model becomes very scratchy and noisy due to oxidization/dust (I'm on my 2nd one of these radios). The volume knob contact inside the device can be cleaned....if you are up for that kind of inconvenience. You can find guidance online. Finally, this model may not be produced any longer, but it can be found as used...and it appears that the adapter can be still found separately.

The Polk Audio RC55i 2-way In-wall Speaker delivers incredible sound to any room in your home without using any floor or shelf space. The RC55i is easy to install, requiring only that you cut a hole, feed the wires through, and simply drop the speaker in where it is held in place by rotating cams that safely secure the speaker with no extra assembly or mess. Once installed, the paintable grille and flange allows this in-wall speaker to virtually disappear in the room.

The swivel-mounted tweeter is aimable for direct high frequency control that ensures spacious imaging with amazing clarity, and well-balanced sound in any listening position, even off-axis listening positions, rather than in just a small sweet spot.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I paint it with my wall color
Answer:	Yes you can paint it your wall color. The speakers come with a clear plastic insert which act as masks for the frame. The preferred and probably the best method to paint the frames and grill is with sprayed paint...you can spray your custom paint with a kit available at your better paint store. You can also use a small roller but be careful with the grill so that you don't fill in the hole. Several very light coats are best here.
Question:	I need them for a concrete wall. is their any problem ? what's the depth of the hole I need to make
Answer:	I think you have many challenges with installing the Polk RC65i into a concrete wall. Overall dimensions (w x h x d) are 8 5/8" x 12 1/6" x 2 7/8". The RC65i requires a 1/2" or 5/8" drywall to mount effectively. If you have drywall over the top of your concrete wall, then this should work (although running the speaker wiring presents its own challenge). The opening in the concrete wall will be larger than the drywall (yet another challenge). I think I would look at a excellent Polk mini-speaker and surface mount that speaker versus tackling the "in ceiling speaker in a concrete wall challenge". But - if you make it work, post your solution to the community as I'm sure they would appreciate the how-to knowledge.
Question:	Do you need a subwoofer for these speakers? Or do they sound ok without it
Answer:	I have a pair of these in a wall which are zone 2 speakers for a receiver which does music only and no subwoofer is possible (most receivers only have a sub input for zone 1). I have to say it sounds damn good, though I did place them up near the ceiling and close to walls to optimise the bass. So in this this situation you do not need a sub. If they are part of a home theatre setup then I'd recommend a sub (as I would with any speaker that is not floor standing capable to reaching some really low frequencies).
Question:	what is the depth needed in the wall
Answer:	PDF spec sheet indicates 2 3/8 " needed assuming mounted to 1/2" drywall
Question:	what size hole for a 6.5" speaker? Dimensions say 10.8 x
Answer:	I believe mine were 6”
Question:	Cut out size
Answer:	Sorry I haven’t used them yet....

Low Profile Performance

Paintable grilles let you build them in, and then forget all about them; RCi Series speakers practically disappear into any room.

Sheer-Grille

The RC55i offers big sound in a slimmer profile. Whether used as main speakers, surrounds in a theater system or throughout your home for whole-house audio, these in-wall speakers fit in countless locations for endless sonic possibilities.

Reflection Room Compensation

Reflective surfaces in rooms can make sound brighter and cause image distortion. Engaging the Vanishing reflective room compensation feature (by selecting the low setting) lowers the tweeter level to compensate for reflective surfaces. Vanishing reflective room compensation is a custom audio control that cuts the level only in the 4-5kHz range, exactly where reflectivity destroys sound quality. Outside this narrow 1kHz band, the tweeter retains its detailed and accurate high frequency response, for no loss of realistic musical details

Timbre-Matching

Compatible with other Polk Audio speakers for seamless blending between traditional and built-in speaker systems.

Simple Setup

Perfect Fit templates, a precision flange, available pre-construction brackets and the patented Rotating Cam system ensure secure, vibration-free installation.

Distance Toggle

If positioning limitations demand that your loudspeakers be installed closer than 2 feet from side walls, the proximity of the surface can result in a response bump between 50 and 200Hz. This can create a ‘boomy' sound. The Vanishing wall distance toggle switch is a custom audio control that adjusts the crossover to flatten response and tune out boomness, without sacrificing deep bass response, for more lifelike sound and more flexible placement.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a back box enclosure
Answer:	does not come with the holder.
Question:	I have 6 polk audio rc80i 2-way premium in-ceiling 8" speakers and 1 polk audio 265-rt 3-way speaker, what receiver should i use to connect to tv
Answer:	Right-hand thread
Question:	Thinking of using this for the front left and right. What would be the best center speaker that will match the timbre? In wall or bookshelf
Answer:	12 W x 42 L
Question:	What is real dimension W,H,D
Answer:	The unit itself has an overall width of 14 1/2". The door is the same width, so when the door is open flush against the wall, the total span of space used is 29". However, the door does not have to open flush against the wall for the ironing board to be used. The door just needs to be able to open past the front of the unit, allowing the board to come down flat.

Power Port Technology

PowerPort bass venting is Polk's patented design for smoothly transitioning the air flow from the port into your listening area, eliminating turbulence and distortion, for bigger, more efficient, deep bass impact.

Sheer-Grille

Vanishing Series built-in speakers feature our exclusive wafer-thin Sheer-Grille, a magnetically-secured grille that protrudes only 7mm from its surroundings. Sheer-Grilles have nearly transparent, ultra-small perfs, and are acoustically inert, for dynamic, unimpeded sound and more uniform coverage, even in larger rooms.

Reflective Room Compensation

Reflective surfaces in rooms can make sound brighter and cause image distortion. Engaging the Vanishing reflective room compensation feature (by selecting the low setting) lowers the tweeter level to compensate for reflective surfaces. Vanishing reflective room compensation is a custom audio control that cuts the level only in the 4-5kHz range, exactly where reflectivity destroys sound quality. Outside this narrow 1kHz band, the tweeter retains its detailed and accurate high frequency response, for no loss of realistic musical details.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can these accept a 1.5" thick ceiling with those dog ears used to hold speaker in ceiling
Answer:	Pair means two but I can see how that could be confusing since each wire contains positive and ground wire (pair). One set of wires for left speaker and one set for right speaker. Order once for each "pair" of speakers you own.
Question:	Can these speakers be bridged? I have 14, do i need an amp or can I bridge them and just use a receiver
Answer:	Mookis replacement cable ends for my 2004 Ranger were better than Oem. If the Excursion has the same arrangement with door latch cables ,then l would say yes.
Question:	Can these be used outdoor on the patio? Or in the bathroom where there is humidity
Answer:	Just wanted to put here that I thought the same thing. My 97 F150 supercab also does not have the ball end. Its a screw looking thing. Can be confusing for first time repair ppl, but not all vehicles have the ball :)
Question:	Can these speakers be bridged? I have 14, do i need an amp or can I bridge them and just use a receiver
Answer:	I believe these will work for you. I think they use the same ends for many different models. I have a 2006 F150 and they work really well. The pieces these replace are worthless. Ford should be ashamed.
