Did you read my post? See the photos? I cant fit the 504c...which I already own.

So recently moved into a new house and I am having to adjust my set up a bit. Going from having my 65 SONY OLED mounted on a wall & the 505c on entertainment console, to mounting my 65 SONY OLED into a built in entertainment center. At first, I hated the built in... TV too high... couldnt place my center channel... etc. Yet, my wife loves it and with time I have started to adjust. In fact, the way I sit on the couch I still very much enjoy watching movies with how I have the TV angled, also plan to upgrade to 83in in future and which should help. Ok back to my center channel issue. The good news is that I am going from RP-4000f towers in my old house to RP-8000f in this new house. Yet unless I modify and chop to hell this built in, there is no room for my 505c. I just noticed that Klipsch released a sealed 404c II that would work for me, as the depth of the speaker would allow it to sit on a small shelf as seen in picture. Right now I have been testing the RP-640D on wall speaker and to be honest I have been pretty happy with it although doesnt have much of a wide dispersion so unless you are dead center if can sound weak. I was worried about how the 404c II only goes down to 87hz (the 640D goes much lower) but in calling Klipsch and Crutchfield, they both recommended the 404c II over the 640D. There isnt alot of info on the 404c II online or on Youtube (reviews etc). What do you all think? Ditch the 640D and go with the 404c II? IMG_4030.HEIC IMG_4029.HEIC

For those mounting horizontally, do you have tweeters facing out or in? Just mounted my 525s today. I plan to get another zone by the pool and go with the larger 650s. IMG_4039.heic

Hi Mark. I dont recall the trim off the top of my head but it was all calibrated so assuming it should be aligned with the rest of my speakers and reference. Im running 80 crossover for all speakers.

So recently purchases a "renewed" 504c from Amazon, which I am not really sure what that means? Different then refurbished or open box right? Anyway, goal was to replace my rp-400 which I bought a few years ago only to realize that my room (open to kitchen) could use the help of a larger center channel. So far so good, seems like A LOT more mid-bass and wider sound stage. The one thing I did notice, and seems only to happen when playing a 4K blu-ray with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD and at high volumes (-8), that the speaker will at sometimes sound "overwhelmed"? The bass a bit muddy? Not sure if it is the fact that maybe my receiver is not warmed up enough yet, or maybe overheating, or maybe just not powerful enough to give the 504c the juice it really needs? BTW i have some fans in the mail which i will place on top of the receiver in the future. Another part of me gets nervous that something is wrong with the speaker and I should have just bought brand new. But doubtful and likely just my anxiety getting the best of me. Thanks for any advice. My set up.. DENON x1500h Center = RP-504C L/R = RP-4000 Rears = PRO-160RPW SUB = Klipsch R-12SW
