would you mount 6 of these for a surround sound/stereo pourpose?

No, you want your front speakers to be your ear level, same with center. I just installed these as a 7.1 set up. 4 in ceiling and the rest are up front on entertainment center. Think about your voice sounds coming from the top up in the ceiling, not nice.

I have a larger center speaker over tv facing out and four 8'' Pyle speakers in ceiling with a separate subwoofer behind couch. I didn't like the highs on the yamaha's...sounded really tinny...probably because the dual tweeters. Try this link: Pyle PDIC80 In-Wall / In-Ceiling Dual 8-inch 2-way Speaker System, White (Pair) They are less than the yamaha's and you get a pair. The sound in my opinion if more of a full range natural sound....hope this helps

Not for the front speakers if they would be ceiling mounted. Most of your voices during movies will only come thru the your front two channels and the center channel, and if they are aimed down they will not be as clear. I only did them for the side and rear speakers but used the regular front and center channel speakers for the front. When I listen to music and run 7 channel stereo they sound amazing but still the most noticeable sound will be from your front speakers. My suggestion is to buy a really good center channel speaker since that is what makes the dialog understandable.

Usually for surround purposes an odd number is used. ie a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. The .1 is for a subwoofer, then you usually have 2 rear speakers, 2 front right and left speakers and 1 center speaker (5.1 setup) You can add a right and left mid speaker for a 7.1 set up. The front center speaker is the "main" speaker that handles the majority of the TV sound. Unfortunately speakers are sold in even lots, leaving you with an extra speaker.

Probably not, they are a decent ceiling surrounds only. Not much bass, decent mids and highs. Hope that helped

Yes ---- This is NOT recommended as it would upset the built in arrangement. For best results use it as received. You will be surprised at the surround sound you will gwet. GOOD LUCK

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.

You can run them however you want but different orientations will sound different as the sound waves bounce around at different areas. I would experiment with the orientation if possible to find what you like best. You'll probably only be able to fit one but as long as it has enough power (I run 1250watts RMS to each of mine) then it should have plenty of bass and still be crystal clear.

Nope. These can't be wall mounted. Each speaker has 4 drivers, 3 in the front and 1 in the back for larger soundstaging as they are bipolar speakers. They are meant for desktop use only.

If you have a good Quality surround receiver(Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo ETC.), go ahead and use them with the receiver. It is designed to have a nice set of fronts. JIm

Yes , but u will have to mount them sideways and angle them down I may even do my surround back pair same way

I suppose you could do that but I have a surround sound system and they are an excellent complement to it. Nice sound and I am very happy with them.

Depending on how heavy the speakers are you are using, I believe pre-drilled holes and the blue cement screws would hold. Stay w/ the specs on weight. Otherwise, you can find pretty much any anchor you need at Lowes or Home Depot. Totally satisfied w/ these wall mount stands.

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.

yes i do that all the time i use 3 in the front for the front stage Left Right and Center then ceiling speakers for surround. I'm a professional installer.

You can, but if I were you, I'd go ahead and mount them anyway. There may not be a lot of 7.1 out there yet, but it will come. Not long ago, there wasn't a lot of HD content out there, either. Now look at it all. While you are going through the trouble of mounting speakers and routing cable, may as well do them all, even if one pair won't get fully utilized just yet. FWIW, a true 7.1 setup in my room is also not possible... I have the couch pressed against the wall, preventing me from getting the rears truly behind the watching position. Instead, I have the rears as far back as I possibly can (slightly behind seating position) and the other surround pair slightly in front of those, but further away from the seating position. Something like this: [sub] [lt-front] [cnter] [rt-front] [left][couch] [right] [lt-rear] [rt-rear] ---wall-------------------------wall----- So, not ideal, but it gets the job done, and when 7.1 content becomes widely available, I won't have to go through the trouble of running more cable. Hope that helps. I'll watch this thread if you have any more questions.

They should, as there are various ways to mount the speakers, hope this helps

They're overkill for sides. That being said, I have 4 of them, fronts and sides. Work great. Very very clear, great sound. Slick wall mount as well. If you're setting them on a shelf be aware that they could, in theory, get knocked over as they're only 5" deep.

we have 6 sets of speakers in our home and we have a 6 way. I set these up by hooking 2 lefts and 2 rights together... using 1 "space"..... I guess it would depend on how you want to use them.

There would not seem to be any restrictions in locating/mounting these little gems. As with all speakers, location will impact the sound quality--positively or negatively.

You could wire it that way running some in series and some in parallel if you know what you're doing, but getting good balance might be tricky. For example, you could run 4x6 in series with a 6.5 on each of the two front channels, the 6x9s on the back channels, then run the sub channel bridged with the 8s in series in parallel to the 12s in series. You'd probably be louder and sound better just ditching the 4x6s and 8s though and using the amp like it was meant to be used. I run 4 6.5s and 1 12 and its retardedly loud
