Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Polk Audio RC80i 2-Way In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair, White)
Customer Review: Great speakers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 2 pairs of these speakers which I use for my rear surround and have been very impressed so far. I also have RC85i's and RC6s from Polk Audio and they all sound amazing together. As other people have noted it is easier to use the screws to pop off the grills the first time as the grills are very difficult to remove once installed so make sure you have the tweeters aimed were you want them when you put the grills back on them.
They are very easy to install. Since the color is so close to my ceiling color I didn't bother painting these, but I did paint my RC85i's and they were very easy to paint if you need to. These speakers are well worth the cost.
Customer Review: Oops! Too many.

I built a 16x20 detached garage with an upstairs office space. I put two pairs upstairs. One pair is PLENTY. These things rock- I don't normally listen to hip hop, but Devil's Night was playing a set, and the bass is spectacular. You can aim the tweeters to reflect better, which is highly recommended. Not sure about the grill criticism- they aren't difficult to take out for me. How often are you doing that really? Regardless, easy installation, pretty good price, and great sound for this guy- definitely good on the bass, but you may want to play with tweeter orientation to get the most from them.Customer Review: Great sound!

This is an excellent set of in-ceiling speakers. Installation was easy using the included template. Cutting a round hole didn't need to be "perfect" thanks to the inch or so bezel around the outside edge. My one suggestion is to use a hand-saw instead of a Dremel or powered saw. It's a little harder on your arm, but the mess from the Dremel was INCREDIBLE.
The sound from these speakers is also fantastic. I actually like their sound so much that I've gone in and turned the rear-speaker bias up 5db after auto-calibration. I paired them with an RC80 front set and an LCiC center channel.
Customer Review: Serve their purpose well

I have these speakers installed in the ceiling of a clothing store. They look great, and sound decent. I'm sure the sound could be better, but unfortunately our ceilings are composed of tiles. This means that they would sound much better if installed in drywall, or even better, MDF. All things considered, however, these are great little speakers for my purpose. Would I use these in a home theater or any serious speaker setup? No. But then again, I would never use in-wall/ceiling for anything serious. These are good though if you need something that looks nice and stealthy, and sounds nice.Customer Review: fantastic speakers!

I don't know if Polk made changes to these speakers, but the complaints I see here have all been addressed. These speakers couldn't be easier to install,and they sound awesome!!! The template provided was perfect in size and the grills were simple to take off. I had both speakers installed and hooked up in less than 20 minutes. If you are looking for a great deal in ceiling speakers, you can't beat these! I love them and have ordered another set for my bedroom. Thanks to Polk for a great product and thanks to Amazon for incredibly fast service. I had them 3 days after I ordered them. Great job!
