Overview
A homeowner building a hidden home theater can mount this speaker nearly flush in the wall. The Power Port vent cuts turbulence for bass, and a thin paintable grille makes it nearly disappear.
The reason to buy is bass venting and flush mounting for a theater system that still looks clean. The limit is quantity and install data, because each order is a single speaker and no cutout is listed.
Who it's for
A finished room with a receiver, and wiring planned for in-wall speakers, suits it, especially alongside other Polk RTi models. Shoppers who want a pair, or who need exact cutout dimensions before buying, should check first.
Pros and cons
- Power Port bass venting
- Paintable thin grille
- Timbre-matched to RTi speakers
- Wired and passive
- Sold as a single
- Cutout size not listed
- Needs an external amplifier
- Built-in microphone entry is wrong
Performance notes
The vent reduces air turbulence at the woofer so low notes come out with less noise. The wall cavity acts as the enclosure, which shapes the deep bass. Timbre matching across a set helps tone stay consistent around the room.
