Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Think in-wall speakers can't compete with free-standing bookshelf or floorstanding speakers? Think again. JBL's SoundPoint SP6 in-wall speakers are easy to install and capable of filling a room with rich, powerful, engaging sound. Whether you want to spread music through the house or make that home theater system disappear from sight, JBL's SoundPoint SP6 speakers will get the job done.

The speakers each use a 6.5-inch titanium-laminate cone woofer with rubber surround for tight, full bass for extended listening sessions. Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguides imbue sound with spaciousness and definition, and the speakers use titanium-laminate tweeters to reproduce high notes with extraordinary clarity.

The speakers were designed to be easily installed using just a pencil, a Phillips number-2 screwdriver, a measuring tape, a utility knife, a carpenter's level, and an awl.

You'll need to choose your speaker cable to match your cable run; be sure to calculate generously as you don't want to come up short when you're wiring your house. For runs up to 20 feet, JBL recommends using 16-gauge cable. For runs up to 30 feet, use 12-gauge cable, and for runs greater than 30 feet you'll want beefy 10-gauge cable to minimize high-frequency signal loss.

SoundPoint Series loudspeakers can be painted to match any decor. If you wish to change their color, the satin finish on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat. Integrated dog-ear brackets are helpful in retrofit applications. Optional snap-together rough-in frames (RIF6) are available separately for new construction.

What's in the Box
Two speakers with grilles, a template/paint shield, a user's manual, and warranty information

I have 5 of these speakers hooked up to a Harmon Kardon AV240 and an Athena 125w sub and I can't believe I bought the whole system for about $725 through Amazon! I was a bit skeptical as to whether these could compete with bookcase speakers, but no more. These speakers have a full rich sound that really enhances your movie watching. They also sound great for music. I would be highly surprised to find a speaker that comes close at this price point. The installation was a snap too. Very good installation design. Highly recommended!!!

I wouldn't know how to rate the product because I never received it although I did purchase it. I order a pair of JBL in-wall speakers and a pair of JBL i-nceiling speakers. I received two pair of the in-ceiling speakers. When I called Electronics Expo about this problem, they told me they were out of the in-wall speakers so they sent my another set of in-ceiling speakers, but charged me for the more expensive in-wall speakers. That's just poor business practice. I returned them (which did go smoothly, they paid for shipping). However they, refunded me the lower price of the in-ceiling speakers so I lost about $25 on the deal. I could get it back if I tried I am sure, but too much of a headache at this point.
