how can I protect 6.5 in. ceiling speakers from spray on urethane foam insulation?

I don't know what anyone else would do but I would put a 2X2ft section of window screen over each speaker.

Cut and tape a drop cloth on it. Just a plain out plastic drop cloth from the dollar store.

I left speakers close to product, you could probably get a few feet without splicing wires.

I don't know how long it will be before the wire insulation (coating) starts degrading and breaking down. To be on the safe side, if I were you I would rather use speaker wires meant for outdoor installation such as these: Black - 16/2 Awg 50 FT Increments Direct Burial AND CL3 Rated In Wall - Speaker Wire/Cable - Indoor/Outdoor - Premium Home/Outdoor Audio/Low Voltage Lighting 50FT Stranded

We didn't have much luck covering the wall. This works great for filling cracks around doors and windows. We were trying to insulate the entire wall system in a 10x20 shed. It would probably reduce the noise but to get the foam to fill the area you are trying to fill may take a couple of bottles. I know for our project it would've taken several bottles. We couldn't get it to spray in layers....it sprayed in streams. The foam expanded and filled cracks and small voids wonderfully. It should reduce sound tho' for sure.

Hi the spray foam will stick to the ceiling. Spray in thin coats and let it expand, then reapply more as desired. The yield will be much lower if applied at less than 70F. Sincerely, Mark - Battic Door Energy

Not foam, exact material unknown. I used to own speakers with foam. The foam disintegrated but that was after almost 20 years.

Pretty much any indoor/outdoor polyurethane spray. There's like four finishes from matte, satin, semi-gloos and gloss. Pick your poison.

If you can protect them with something, I suppose that's best. It avoids lamps, chairs, coffee table, and my floor speakers. Not sure what kind of nicknacks you have?

That's the exact application that I used these speakers for - installed in the ceiling of my basement family room as rear speakers for my surround sound system. That's right below my living room upstairs and all I did was put 2 inch fiberglass insulation above the speaker when I mounted them in the ceiling. Not any issues with bleed over in my living room upstairs. The nice thing about these speakers is that the dome tweeter is moveable so you can move it and point it where you need to.

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.

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

I think you could paint them with a sprayer. However, I will tell you they are very narrow and look very nice. They are not the sort you get on other in-wall systems. I have a Polk Audio set downstairs. The Klipsch grilles are very fine and nearly flush with the wall.

This would not be good for speaker insulation. Go get some ownens pink fiberglass from somewhere like home depot, I use 4" thick. The sound needs to go through the insulation to the box yet be deadened a little, this will probably deaden it too much.

seperate the wires acouple of inches strip the insulation back about 1/4 inch twist the end of each wire. the speakers have a positive negative connection just press the clip and slide the wire in

You should buy speakers designed for outdoor or marine use. Even though they are protected, the humidity is likely to eventually have an impact since they were not made for that. I wouldn't even put them in a bathroom that gets humidity from a shower.

Hi PeterThank you for the question, and you could use this as a direct replacement. I would recommend using a marine speaker that will be able to handle the moisture and exterior elements better than a traditional speaker.Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

We bought a really nice expensive set. We put some in wall and some in ceiling. We love ours and they are great speakers. Hope this helps
