This was my first attempt at installing this type of speaker. I installed them in the ceiling of my dining room. Instructions were very straight forward and the design of the speaker mount is great and very secure. Nice sounding tweeter and good mids. Even though the specifications say the lows go down to 40k or so, don't expect thundering bass. I was so pleased with the results that I'm ordering another set for an upstairs location in my home.

One very good thingthe listener who was dissappointed in the bass response could do is ensure there is an acousitcal enclosure on the back side. If the back of the speaker vents into a large space, such as an attic, a lot of bass will be lost there. I use fiberglass and boxes to create a little chamber, works well, once you get the hang of it.

For the price they are unbeatable, They are great for rear speakers for surround systems. I will put them againts speakers costing 3x as much. These are being used with (Polk Audio) 2000 Towers & Center 400csi. (And AudioSource holding their own). Good work AudioSource

I purchased a pair of IW6S speakers 3 months ago so I could listen to music in my kitchen and living room. They seemed like a good deal and I was not looking for great sound from them, just decent background music. Unfortunately, I am disappointed by their total lack of bass and poor sound quality. I was not expecting booming bass but a 6 1/2 inch speaker should produce at least a minimal amount of bass. If I had to do it over again, I would spend a little more money and get a much better speaker

I just installed these speakers in the walls in my family room and they work very well. The sound, if not perfect, is good enough for any type of entertaining. I have played rock (The Cars) as well and instrumental music (George Winston) on them and reproduced the sounds very well with just a little less bass (all I had to do was turn the bass up a little on the reciever, and they sounded fine).
I recomend these speakers.
Enjoy!

We installed these speakers in the living room and dining room of our new home. Install was a snap, and the speakers are great for ambient music. Our builder offered the same speakers through their installer at about twice the price.

If you're looking for VERY LOW priced speakers for nice background music, these are a perfect choice (and much better than the smaller Audio Source speakers). In response to some other reviews, if you're looking for something with lots of bass, then why are you considering a low cost in wall speaker?

I installed these as surround right and left in the basement home theater drop ceiling - they were light enough to require minimal support besides the tiles, boxed in the cavity for extra base. Template was spot-on, everything sounds great. Still need a sub-woofer, though. Used IW8S for the fronts for a little extra oooomph.

I have two connected to the speaker outs from my Panasonic professional 42" Plasma TH-42PWD8UK. They installed very easily and sound pretty good driven by the 8 watt per channel output from my TV. They get much louder than my wife will let me listen to, and music sounds very good. I thought they would have more bass, but it really isn't noticeable watching most broadcaset TV. If I upgrade to 5.1, i'll buy three more of these. Painted the wall color they are certainly visible, since the bezel around the speaker is 1/8 inch thick, and lights case a shadow. I am very happy with them (and my wife is happy with the price).

Good speakers for the price. Easy installation, paintable surfaces to match wall color. I would buy this product again if needed.

I ordered these speakers to replace existing ones. I tried to be very careful about ordering them because I needed them to replace existing speakings in existing wholes. The specifications of the speakers indicated that they were the exact match for the current ones. However, when I received them, the frames holding the speakers was too big for the current space and I had to return them. I'll try again later...
