Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The IW6S in-wall speakers from AudioSource are designed to accurately reproduce music from today's demanding digital signals. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet; as such, the speaker depth is only 3 inches. Mounted flush to the wall, they require absolutely no floor space. This discrete, compact format is ideal for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.

In-wall speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music from your living-room system to additional rooms in the house. They handle amplifier loads up to 75 watts per channel, and can also be used to enhance and enrich subwoofer and surround-sound systems, for which they are especially well suited when mounted just behind and on either side of your home-theater listening area.

The speakers feature 6.5-inch polypropylene woofers with long-life butyl rubber surrounds. Moisture-resistant, swivel-mounted 1-inch tweeters grant placement flexibility, as the tweeters can be directed as you choose.

The speaker terminals will accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker wire, which should be used for longer connections (greater than 50 feet of wire). For shorter distances, 18- or 20-gauge speaker wire will be adequate. AudioSource's solid dogleg mounting system simplifies installation, and you may paint the metal speaker grilles, as well as the frames, to match any room.

What's in the Box
Two speakers, mounting template (for wall cutting), paintable metal grilles, a user's manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the Ceiling!, November 11, 2002

By	Dwight (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Bass, July 9, 2004

By	J. A Harring (Fla) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars AudioSource Rocks, May 28, 2003

By	William M. Castellano "mr800bc" (Staten Island, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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
