Bostonmurf Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone, Im wondering if you can help me. I have a single RS 52 II which ive been trying to sell for over a year but no joy. so im on to plan 2, i have a dolby atmos setup which im very happy with but i have 4 cheap in ceiling speakers which even though i like them it bugs me they are not klipsch like the rest of the set up. is there anyway i can split up the RS 52 II into 2 separate speakers and use them instead. It seems they are the same components as the RB 51 IIs - could i just build 2 bookshelf crossovers and use them mounted in the ceiling? if this seems possible does anyone have the RB 51 II schematic for the crossovers? thanks for any help in advance Edited September 27, 2018 by Bostonmurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 First, tell us about the room, ceiling height, ceiling type, type of seating, etc. What ceiling speakers are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonmurf Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) im currently using Micca M-85 in the ceiling (i have 4 of them) room size is 13ft x 24ft. ceiling height is 10ft im using RP280Fs for front and rear center RP450c RP160M for sides SVS cylinder sub 12in in ceiling speakers are Micca M-85 (i have 4 of them) 2 cinema arm chairs with Aura bass shakers. Emotiva power amps and Denon receiver i figured if i can use the RS in place of 2 of them then eventually do the same with the remaining 2 id have a full Klipsch setup thanks in advance for your help Edited September 28, 2018 by Bostonmurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 You are in a large room. These speaker work well in a sheet rock ceiling. They will also work with a tile ceiling commonly used in basements. Make sure to run auto EQ, angle the speakers correctly. Your speakers are not a bad choice and don't have to be Klipsch. Mines are not Klipsch. Atmos speakers deliver ambient sound. This sound is glass breaking overhead, rain, footsteps upstair, etc. These speakers are not that active and also, lower volume than most of the other speakers. Many people think they should be more active but, they are not. Try to listen to some other peoples Atmos setup and compare. Also, surround speakers(side and rear surrounds) higher up on the wall will help with the overhead effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonmurf Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 thanks derrickdj1, yes I am totally content with the ones I have. like you say the Atmos is subtle anyway and they do sound good. maybe ill add the spare surround to my 5.1 living room set up as a single rear channel to make it 6.1 thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
