Can these speakers be "aimed" at the listening position if they are installed in the ceiling (as the rear surround speakers)?

No. These speakers are similar to car stereo speakers in that they are stationary. The sound is incredible though depending on the quality of whatever it is you're viewing. Sometimes I can't hear a thing and other times I feel like I'm in the action.

they cannot be aimed unless a custom application was made or created to allow this. The speaker aims 90 degrees to whatever surface it is mounted to. You cut a hole and the speaker basically clamps on to the plaster or drywall with 4 screws and clips. Very easy install and i installed them directly above our heads

These are flush mount speakers as delivered. Unless your ceiling at the point of installation is sloped or you can build a mounting box that can position speakers you will need to find another type. We have not found it to be a problem with the flush mount.

No, not if you want them to seat properly inside the wall and look clean and flush with the outside of the wall.

No. These are in-wall or in ceiling speakers and are not suitable for outdoor use.

There are mount holes in the back of each satellite speaker. You can buy mounting arms that can hang from the wall OR ceiling and can be adjusted to point where you want them to.

no the rear speakers are wired. I have a small walled room, so it was simple for me to hide the wires in plastic wall trunking along the ceiling.if you're wirin a large room, or a room with high ceilings, it would be difficult to run the wires i think.

I mounted mine under the room ledge and they sound great. I mounted them vertically and the bass reflects off the overhang. Great outdoor speakers with really good sound. I have one each on the corners and 2 round ceiling speakers centered on the lanai. They work great together

The sound is great from these speakers. A sub would round out the lows perfectly. I assume you would mount these vertically since they are too wide to fit between typical framing 16" O.C. Overall great product, I used one as a center channel with the Yamaha 6.5" dual tweeter angled woofer for in ceiling surrounds. Amazing!

The speakers are angled in their housing, so when installing them you would position the speaker to aim toward the listening area. Furthermore, the tweeters can be aimed seperately from the woofer in any direction. Hope this helps.

These speakers were designed for Surround sound. They come with picture like hangers for wall mounting. Or you could buy mounting brackets and hang them from a wall or fly them from the ceiling. They really should not be used as the main right and left speakers which is probably why you want speaker stands for these? I would buy tower speakers instead for left and right if you are going to waste the footprint space anyway and put them on stands. They are good sounding speakers, just not for what I think you intend?

Yes, I have installed them on the ceiling. Sounds great, is a good solution for a space of entertainment. You have to complement it with a good receiver, I recommend you Pioneer. The only bad thing is that the angle can not be adjustable. For example, I have done the false ceiling taking this in consideration, if you put it in a flat surface them you can not adjust the angle of the speakers.

They would work for rear surround speakers, but there are constraints. The speaker is deeper than it is wide and there is a port on the back of the unit so you can't flush mount it to the wall. They would have to be on a stand or shelf. They make a L820 model if you need to mount them on the wall. These speakers sound great.

Yes - they are on a ball and socket mount so you can aim them up, down, right and left. Sound great as my rear speakers on our surround sound.

I think they can be mounted in the rear as long as there is sufficient room. If it is too small of a space, try the Pyle 5 1/4 size speakers instead.

No. This just directs the sound from the speakers into a focused direction. Novelty more than any thing else. Won't help with your speaker issue.

if you are asking if they can be mounted to the ceiling, yes. there is a mounting base the requires two wood screws and then the speaker is mounted to the swivel base. As far as being mounted in the ceiling i would say no as these are a pair of cube shaped speakers connected together similar to the Bose Accustimass II speakers. It could be possible to set them in a recessed opening in the ceiling, but I wouldn't obstruct the positionability of the two cube pair.

Do not get in front of this speakers system. Place them in a 45 degree angle to get the most out of them

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.

I didnt mount this exact speaker in the ceiling, but I did box in between the rafters and mounted my other speakers. I have my room and living room done with these flush mount speakers. This exact one, I use as a center channel and I love it! But you need to limit the air space in the wall for all of these speakers for best sound results! If you want to save some money, look at the Micca speakers!
