Review: The install was super simple if you follow the one necessary rule: Measure, verify , measure and verify again, and again and again BEFORE you cut into the wall. I am pleased with the sound (some adjustments on my receiver) as these replaced some large floor taking speakers that my wife did not like visually. Now I have front and rear Polk Audio, Mission center, Energy powered subwoofer run via my Denon receiver. Yes I like and yes I recommend these speakers.

Or do they sound ok without it?** A: I have a pair of these in a wall which are zone 2 speakers for a receiver which does music only and no subwoofer is possible (most receivers only have a sub input for zone 1). I have to say it sounds damn good, though I did place them up near the ceiling and close to walls to optimise the bass. So in this this situation you do not need a sub. If they are part of a home theatre setup then I'd recommend a sub (as I would with any speaker that is not floor standing capable to reaching some really low frequencies). **Q: can I paint it with my wall color?** A: Yes you can paint it your wall color. The speakers come with a clear plastic insert which act as masks for the frame. The preferred and probably the best method to paint the frames and grill is with sprayed paint...you can spray your custom paint with a kit available at your better paint store. You can also use a small roller but be careful with the grill so that you don't fill in the hole. Several very light coats are best here. **Q: I need them for a concrete wall. is their any problem ? what's the depth of the hole I need to make ?** A: I think you have many challenges with installing the Polk RC65i into a concrete wall. Overall dimensions (w x h x d) are 8 5/8" x 12 1/6" x 2 7/8". The RC65i requires a 1/2" or 5/8" drywall to mount effectively. If you have drywall over the top of your concrete wall, then this should work (although running the speaker wiring presents its own challenge). The opening in the concrete wall will be larger than the drywall (yet another challenge). I think I would look at a excellent Polk mini-speaker and surface mount that speaker versus tackling the "in ceiling speaker in a concrete wall challenge". But - if you make it work, post your solution to the community as I'm sure they would appreciate the how-to knowledge. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***S on October 20, 2022* The install was super simple if you follow the one necessary rule: Measure, verify , measure and verify again, and again and again BEFORE you cut into the wall.

LAS RECOMIENDO 100% ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***L on June 22, 2025* Love, love, love these speakers. They changed my movie watching experience. It feels like I’m actually there in real life when watching movies. They sound better than the speakers at my local theater. They are an excellent value for the money as well. Being able to paint the speaker grilles makes it so I don’t even notice them. They look fantastic. They are a great value for the price. I never imagined they would sound this good at this price. They work very well. II highly recommend for them your home theater room. Very simple installation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Polk Audio RC85i 2-Way Premium in-Wall 8" Speakers (Pair), Perfect for Damp and Humid Placement - Bath, Kitchen, Covered Porches (White, Paintable Grille) - Polk Audio 255c-RT in-Wall Center Channel Speaker (2) 5.25" Drivers - The Vanishing Series | Easily Fits into The Wall | Power Port | Paintable Grille Black, White - Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Subwoofer – Power Port Technology, Up to 100 Watts, Big Bass in Compact Design, Easy Setup with Home Theater Systems, Timbre-Matched with Monitor & T-Series Polk Speakers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/734542429-rc85i-in-wall-ldspkr](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/734542429-rc85i-in-wall-ldspkr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
