how may speakers are needed in a 24' x 13' area? I was planning on 2 on each side of the 24'. Is that good or overkill?

Jeanine, I have a 5.1 system (4 polk RC85i speakers (two on each side), once center speaker and the subwofer). My place is similar to yours. In my opinion your distribution could work very well...

I have a 24x16 room and I have 2-RC85I's, 2-RCI80's, a Pioneer Elite SIW571L 5 1/4" In-Wall CST LCR Speaker and a PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer and a pioneer amp and they sound really good. good luck with your system.

There were some adjustments done to have large Left and right speakers. The installer had done quite a few adjustments. I don't remember a whole lot of details.

The speakers are not made for a large space. Imagine sitting at your computer and having the speakers excite the space within an area of 30 sq ft. In this area they are clear, with great definition. I have B&W; speakers that can handle 200 watts each and an REL Sub. These are made for a large room and at low gain fill the room. You would be better to get a pair of Senheisser or Grado headphones and plug them into the MM1 jack.

One speaker is enough..these are awesome speakers..two is amazing but one is sufficiant for smaller intmate settings hope this helped out..good luck!

12 gauge too large and too expensive. Unless your speakers will be placed > than 50 ft from setup then 16 gauge is the way to go.

I would not recommend buying 4 of these if you are trying to create a surround sound system. This is a great center speaker but a bit much for the satellite speakers. In wall monitor or satellite speakers would be a better choice and value.

Mine is set up with plenty of space on each side, but based on how it's constructed, I can't see that as an issue. The subwoofer is beneath the unit and the primary mid range speakers are in front. If anything, a more confined space may actually enhance the sound. Good luck

mine have been flush mounted in a small 12x12 spare bedroom on the back wall used for 7.2 surround sound. But I'm thinking about angling them down. my couch is directly along the back wall so the speakers are directly above the couch. I don't really get too much sound from them so I'm thinking about angling them down. Hope this helps

You are good on height. You will have about 3/16 to spare. On depth, you are short by 3/4, but it shouldn't matter if the speaker extends beyond your enclosure. You will probably get better sound dispersion. Speakers have a great sound as centers!

You would be surprised but these can fill a large room. My advice to you would be to wait to hear them before you feel the need to add anything to them. if you truly want 7.1 sound i would suggest adding two floorstanding speakers to the front and using the 800 for your center and surround. But I believe these speakers will fill your room. Feel free to let me know how everything works out and what you decide to do.

What's up Brandon.... I'd go with 12-16 AWG. The larger the speaker is the larger AWG.

You'll be good. Mine is an 1100 watt hooked up to one 12". So ideally 2 of the speakers would need a 2200 watt amplifier to reach the speakers peak, but for your use it will sound great as long as it's wired up correctly and such

Due to space limitations , I have positioned the speakers relatively close to the unit however there is ample wire available to position the speakers about 24-30 inches away.

There is room but there is not bracket for it and you would have lots of wires to run. It would best to just get a 4 speaker amp.

As long as you don't plan on Bi-wiring them, yes it shouldn't be an issue. Keep in mind for better results you should just save up for floor standing right and left speakers. Otherwise I recommend paying the same price for left and right channel speakers.

If a small shelf would be good enough, then these brackets are way too big anyway. I'm no audiofile, and don't know much about speakers, but don't they have screw-holes in the back for mounting? I'd find screws (probably machine screws) that match those sockets, go to Best Buy or some equivalent and tell them what you're trying to do. I'm sure they have brackets that will be perfect for you needs.

I have them installed in a 12x12 room and they do very well with sound to spare. These can mount in the corner of a room (mounting brackets handle that). If they were mounted high enough and clear of obstacles, then they should easily fill a larger room. I was thinking of getting another pair for a 24 x 30 room that I have.
