Are these enclosed in the back or open? I'll be installing in a ceiling where the backs of these will be open to the attic.

They are open. If you are concerned about attic insulation getting into the consider using a food-wrap (cling free etc). They are very easy to install. I used them as the rear speakers in my 5.1 audio system.

These speakers are open. You might want to opt for using outdoor speakers or find a weatherproof speaker enclosure to put these units in.

Hello, these speakers have an open back with clamps on both sides. After you place the speaker into the ceiling the speaker is secured by tighting screws that forces the clamp to the ceiling, very easy to install and they sound great.

The vents are open all the time. This is not a 'fancy' item but is practical in terms of allowing air in a room while keeping insects and rain out. (Happy with mine-)

If you are worried about cold air going come from the attic fan opening it does not seem to be an issue. Heat rises. If anything warm air would escape to the attic if the louvers were open for some reason. May 5, I live in Michigan and have not turned on my air conditioning other then to make sure it works.Warm days still have cool nights so we set the fan on 2 hours, crack the windows. Makes for some good sleepin'.

They are semi opened and that's how they stayed with me. They are also dampened and rewired, painted. I also made a pair of open headphones as well which I prefer, so would never enclose the Fostex.

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

I believe so We made the plane for our grandson to hang from his ceiling and glued them shut, not sure if they also open, but I BELIEVE so. Sorry for not being more specific.

They would be for indoor use only and are not air tight. They have springs in the back that hold them to the ceiling so they aren't really a recessed lighting unless the hole you are putting them in is already recessed. Hope this helps.

No, they are not in a sealed housing. I have blown insulation in one section where we installed a set and just moved it out of the way. A friend has a set in blown insulation and he fashioned a tube out of cardboard that he inserted through the hole prior to installing the speaker - seems to work for him.

You can enclose them. There is mesh where they can see out the front as well as the back.

Yes, these be installed in a ceiling with insulation. All of our lights have the CE certificate and will not cause any fire hazard, just rest assured!

yes the back of the unit is open and the condenser coils are exposed. Every unit designed to mounted in a window is going to have the condenser exposed out of necessity. The condenser must have maximum air exposer for the unit to work efficiently. Putting anything over the face of the coils would be the same as blocking of the grille for the radiator on your car while driving it.

Sorry to slow response, If you have the pop out windows on back you wont like them on because window cant open full and lock in postion. I was not expecting the back1s to come with package, but using them for the front windows was my only intention for its wifes truck and she smokes and I don't. They work great and so far holding true to there word on durability.

They're not. The back is open, but I'd you've got enough stuff on the shelves the wires aren't too visible

Not to seem sarcastic, but the open screw ones are open and the closed are closed?The open ones have a hole in the side and you can see the screws. The closed ones are totally closed. I am not a huge audiophile, so I can't say why you would want the open ones. I think the for majority of people, the closed ones are the way to go. Also, the "hardest" thing to using these is to make sure you don't put a lot of wire over the end, it makes it hard to screw the thing closed. Good luck!

Save your money, mine are in the attic of my garage, I tried to use them once and they would not perform correctly. I had bought them quite a long time before I ever tried to use them so sending them back was not an option.

They are semi open. But I haven't had a problem really. I have to do crank them for the wife to hear anything. It actually helps a little to give even better sound. I've been impressed. Love them.

I installed these in the ceiling of our Ranch house and first went up into the attic to mark where we would place the speakers (I didn't want to start a hole close to a beam or wires) while up there I moved the insulation out of the way and placed foam flower protectors over the center of the hole (amzn.com/B00448J1FY), Then I replaced the insulation. That way there is an insulated cavity above the speaker and it doesn't interfere with the speakers. Speaker wire was run to each location and the wired poked through the foam pot protector. I found the foam protectors at a local store for a few bucks each.
