I am thinking of putting these in my basement for a theater/ tv room. Would these kill the echo?

Yes Jeremy, they work great for killing echoes. I have them in my music studio for the same effect. I was get nasty echoes in my recordings. These fixed that right up! Good luck.

Yes I think they will, but it will take more than one 12 pack to do it. I bought orange, green, purple and red 12 packs for a 8' x'16' drum room.

it will definitely kill the echos and stop the sound from bouncing off any surface. you dont have to fill the room with the acoustic foam as well distributed sections will do the job. the color combination also helps the decoration.

As others have noted, these will help with reflections, which should improve the acoustics of the room a lot. However, for a basement theater, you should also install some bass traps, as bass energy is often the culprit when you have hard, reflective walls and floors. Auralex makes some (relatively) inexpensive bass traps that are pretty effective. If you only have budget for these or for bass traps, I recommend doing the bass traps. You'll get far more improvement for the money.

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

they would certainly work fine. They are high quality speakers that work in any environment. I use them for monitoring music in a smaller studio space...but they are very powerful and have amplification built in.

No. Sadly, I do not think they would be strong enough. It muffles out background noise.

They should work just fine. Mine are in the rear doors of my Chevy Colorado crew cab and they are un-amped and get the job down so I wouldn't worry too much. But if you're going for main audio, such as the front doors, I would give polk audio a look.

Sorry, but not sure what you are concerned about with using them in a basement in the winter. As for the sound, they are noisey but not blast your ears out noisey. Hope that helps :)

Yes! I love these headphones. I have the base unit on the 3rd floor and I can still hear the tv when I'm in the basement. I think the headphones are worth the price.

Absolutely!! Depending on the age if your tv, you may need to turn volume off to avoid 'echo ' but it's fabulous.

Timothy Rasico and DEADHEAD are correct about how to make them work for your tv. They are very nice computer speakers, so don't try to compare them to actual home theater system speakers because they aren't as powerful considering they weren't necessarily made for tv use.

If you're asking if these subs will fill a room with sound then the answer is yes!! they will work best in a small to medium size room..Not sure of "continuos power. look up "specs". You won't need to turn the volume up on these past halfway!!

I have these speakers as Home Theater systems in 2 rooms in my house. They sound excellent to me with real crisp audio with excellent highs and mid range. I am also using them with sub-woofers so I cannot comment on the low sounds. The cavity chamber is designed to increase the lows, so I assume they will be OK for that. Suggest you go listen to them and judge sound quality for yourself.

Could possibly work. I think if you talked to a plumber about that it would be better. These are for music sound control and get covered by a cloth cover . Then they are hung on the wall or ceiling for sound control.

Absolutely as long as you have a decently powered receiver. That's about the size of the room I have them in and they sound great.

yes they would . expnisive . but good . I use the 8040 surrounds as they throw sound signels around more . you could and can use the as surround and side surround channels .

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.

I bought the ssf-5000s and put them in my man cave and afer hearing them bought another pair for the house but not sure if they will overwhelm my other polk bookshelf speakers hooked to the surround system

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.
