If that's indeed the case, it's a non issue. For me the bigger issue would be preventing insulation from getting into the back side of the drivers. Yep, the shared space and acting upon each other was in my mind the concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you cut the hole in the ceiling and after the wires are where they need to be placed, you could stuff some ROXUL mineral wool or pack some pieces of fiberglass insulation batts into the space between the two speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no need for it then but it certainly wouldn't hurt anything if he did put something between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world your call would have been routed to someone who specializes in installation. The first person who you spoke to should have been triaging the calls and getting you to the right department, not answering your question. I'm hoping that the OP just had bad luck. Let's see: About 1974, I had a technical question that didn't even have to do with Klipsch Speakers (I had JBL at the time), asked my dealer, who wasn't sure. In answer, I got a brief letter from PWK, cc. to the dealer. About 1980, I had a question and I was connected to Gary Gillum (the "g" in kg). About 1990 (?) I had a question and I was connected to Roy Delgado. Later on, in response to a question, Steve Phillips had Trey Cannon call me. In 2006, Roy gave a very long, informative, and humorous answer to a question I asked on the forum. His response included the following, " ...you have asked a straightforward question that unfortunately has a pretty 'curved' answer ..." Several years later, I sent Roy a PM which he answered.

pzannucci Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Someone in support should have pointed out that in wall speakers don't necessarily need an enclosure but if Klipsch makes one, they should have sold it. Most in walls don't have real enclosures but more of a protection from what ever is in the space of the wall or ceiling. They are made to operate open. That said, is a flimsy piece of sheetrock the best way to anchor and lock down a quality speaker, no it''s only a starting point. They can be operated that way but anything to stabilize the area and possibly reduce the impact of the area would be good. They will not typically be operated in the lower frequencies so an enclosure may be an overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
