EdChesson Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 My apologies if this is already posted [my searches have not found anything as yet] -- I have several questions related to in-wall and ceiling speaker installs. The fronts and center (looking at KL-6502-THX for the center and R-5502-W for the L & R fronts) -- first question -- should I use all the same for the fronts? I thought I would "upgrade" the center a little with the 6502. They will be put into a "false wall" that allows a rear proj TV to sit flush, built out ~20"...so, second question is whether I should box in behind these speakers so they effectively sit in a normal wall cavity (vs. a 20" deep cavity)....should I fill or partially fill the cavity with insulation?...should I isolate the 3 fronts from each other -- by boxing in again...would a bigger (deeper is easy) cavity for each speaker be "better"....the center will sit below the TV...did not plan to box in behind it unless you think otherwise. I plan to use ceiling speakers for the side surrounds -- and they will be between the same set of ceiling joists -- similar concern as above -- do I need to somehow isolate between them (try to get a block of wood up into the space)...and should I stuff insulation up into the holes prior to inserting speakers? Any other thoughts or comments are definitely welcome --- thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajesh Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Sorry for this late reply .I forgot the login Password. R-5502-W is reference series . Means more sensitivity than THX series . I beleive you will be hearing crisp dialogs with little low side channels. THX standards are very critical to room acoustics AMP and room dimensions . I have installed almost every model from klipsch from cinema-6 to RF-83's. I had the utmost difficulty in mounting the ultra -2 KS-525's . You should use a enclosure that is 3.75" in depth and pack it with a layer of glasswool . A 20" cavity will totally spoil the infinite baffle adherence. Since the surrounds are less dynamic in a movie it can be mounted on the ceiling as it is. Good luck and best wishes.

Brac Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Why use in walls, if you have a 20" cavity you could put real speakers in the cavity, the ultra 2's would work great in this application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajesh Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think it's something to do with the budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
