Can these be used in-wall instead of ceiling?

I do not see why they cannot be used in the wall. Send the guestion to Bose Hq.

No. The tweeters and drivers are specifically designed to disperse from the ceiling. Also, I would reccomend a rectangular in wall speaker from a different manufacturer such as speakercraft or b&w; they have been making these types of speakers way longer than Bose.

Yes they can. Typically you will see rectangular speakers in the wall and that is to allow for separate larger speakers in the enclosure. These will work fine in the wall.

I believe they can in fact be mounted from the ceiling. Never thought about something like that but could see the benefit. Interesting idea!

They are flexible and need to be held in the proper location with ceiling anchors. They come out of the box straight so they might work for you depending on the application. The product is meant to be shaped.

I don't think you can install it on the ceiling. It's constructed in such a way that allows only wall installayion.

I would say yes. We use them in lamps but I don't see why you couldn't use them in hall ceiling fixtures or outdoor lighting.

This unit is designed to be installed wall mounted. It can be mounted on the ceiling but it will not be effective. It will defeat the purpose. I do not recommend it to be installed in the ceiling

I wouldn't think so. We put it up like regular wall paper. It is a temporary option to fix the cracks and other issues with the ceiling in our older home

No. I don't think they would work, because the style of them is so that the pressure from itself holds the item, and it would not work turned up to the ceiling.

Yes they do! The wall ones are better but the ceiling ones sound very good with denim insulation behind them. You can find the insulation at lowes.

You can put them in the ceiling. But for the best surround sound it's best to put them in the walls. Three front and two back.

Most customers mount these on the ceiling and cover the room below. Hope that answers your question. Thanks

They would be too stiff for the ceiling. Not at home to measure the length but I'm guessing 1/2 to 3/4 in.

Yes you can install on wall or ceiling. The hardware is provided in the package. Easy to install.

Possibly, but it will depend on how deep the speaker is. In my experience, in-ceiling speakers won't fit in a standard 2x4 studded wall, as they will stick out and you can't fasten them down. You will have a maximum of about 3-3/4" of space between the drywall for a speaker. And while in wall speakers are designed to fit in these confines, in ceilings are not. While the previous comments are correct regarding the way the speakers mount being compatible with in ceiling or in wall installation, it's the dimensions that are the hang up. I doubt they have actually put these in a wall, but are merely speculating. Possibly, but it will depend on how deep the speaker is.

Yes, they can, and what's nice is the top inch will hang out and light up the whole room. (Unless you use your recessed as spot lights then they will not work that way.)

We hung ours from a wall. Have not done so from the ceiling. We actually mounted them on the outsides of our house, so they were attached to the siding (which is metal, BTW)

We have all three on the wall in the corner of the room. It worked out great because the ceiling is too high. It can be done either way.
