Can you use these for rear surround sound speakers?

Yes you can. They sound very good! You don't want them to be overpowered by anything bigger than a Klipsch F-30 in the front tho in my opinion.

You can use just about any speaker as a rear surround, although you would not be using these speakers to their full potential. These speakers have a higher range than what is normally used in surround speakers (low to high), therefore, you end up with expensive surround speakers. Tower speakers are typically used as front speakers in a 2.1 or 3.1 setup. If you have the money to spend, I guess "why not?". But if you want bang for your buck, use these as front speakers and buy some nice rear surround speakers and save some space.

Your rear speakers don't necessarily have to match your fronts, so with that theory in mind, these should serve you well. As long as your center matches your front left and right, you're good.

No, they don't work for the factory rear dvd player, but the rear speakers do work

If you are using these speakers for rear surround sound, with the lower/bass frequencies sent to your subwoofer, you should not have a problem. If you are using them for stereo playback for full frequency music...just remember...what you hear on the room side of the speaker (woofer) is what you are going to hear on the backside. Depending on how loud you play them, it may pose a problem. Also, putting a layer of insulation on top of them in the ceiling, will NOT help much or if any.

Yes, they will work fine with that system and will be able to handle the power. I believe they would be a great addition to your surround system. I simply love the ones I purchased and have had no problems what so ever.

Sure! I use these as my front speakers (left and right) and they work very well for a theater setup. As a rear speaker they should do just fine.

yes and they sound great as well. I fully recommend them for the surround sound. I am using them as my fronts, rears and center channels. Sound Great.

Don't know. One works well providing surround sound for both rear speakers.

Yes they should work just fine! Mine are hooked up to a 110w/channel 7:1 surround receiver. Placement of the speakers are critical in getting the results so keep that in mind. Check the instructions for speaker placement on your receiver. Mine were hung and angled down to the listening area. Hope this helps.

I use them as rear speakers actually. you can make these speakers as rear or from as long as you have a receiver to connect them to.one thing I found out was that it still would give you 2.1 surround sound and not 5.1 because of the way a/v receiver senses them. I use them at home with my tv and it doesn't make difference and sounds pretty good. also acoustimass is not actually a subwoofer but it is kind of a subwoofer. performance is a little bit down if you are expecting some boom boom woofer performance. Just FYI.

I have a Pioneer Elite receiver and used these for rear surround sound and they work great. Thinking about buying a full 5 speaker set for my home theater room.

I would not recommend it. They sound great for surround but you won't get the bass you need for fronts.

I would stick to using them on the sides or in the rear. I have mine as the rear speakers and they work great. I have a 7.1 system but these are wired as the side speakers and the side speakers wired as the rear. I did this because for some reason when they were wired as the rear speakers the volume was quite low compared to the sides. Now the side speakers (wired as the rear) just fill in the gap between front and rear because of the lower volume. Most shows play in 5.X anyways so it sounds great.

Rear ported speakers, such as these, require that there be about a foot or so between the rear of the speaker and the wall. You can mount the speakers any way you like but you'll loose some bottom end.

Yes I beleive you can. These are flush mount speakers, but be sure you have the space behind your mounting surface for the ported enclosure (see product image).
