Do the 4x6 speakers have a plastic guard? Or are they just bare and exposed speakers?

No they do not have a plastic gaurd on them. They are just bare but the speakers look Amazing.

I do believe that they come with a guard, I have mine installed in my silverado so there was no need to use the guards because the truck has snap in guards

Yes there is a metal bracket on the top. I put a screw in the wall for the metal bracket and put self adhesive rubber spacers on the back of the speaker at the bottom to hold the speaker away from the wall a bit. This let the rear firing bass port breathe. I am using them for surrounds in a system with 2 Emotiva subs so intense bass is not really needed. Not that you will get intense bass from a speaker this small anyway. Unless they are your main speakers in the system hanging them on the wall will not affect the sound. If they are your main speakers I would definitely use the spacers.

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.

I haven't figured that one out yet, my speakers are new and I mounted mine under the eaves of my patio to keep them out of the weather. Supposedly they hold up well but I wouldn't recommend putting them directly in the path of bad weather and rain.

Yes. Speakers come with plastic paint guards. SPRAY WITH LIGHT MIST ONLY. You don't want to plund any tooth pick size holes. They blend in and look great if you can get the color matched. Recommend spray only.

they are covered with the typical black mesh cover with the logo at the bottom, the cover is removable. You can keep them on or off, depending on your taste. They are very good quality speakers.

There are no flap covering the speakers but there's protection around the speakers and they do not affect the volume or quality. The only "flaps" there are for the charger and head phones spot

yes, the covers have very large openings, the photo on left is what they look like, these are great speakers, break them in correctly

They did come with plastic mounting brackets in the box, I would imagine the additional ones you would receive from Crutchfield would be different though as they are normally vehicle specific. The speakers do not come with speaker wire.

Si senior, they are solid rubber--or something like that. In any case they are not pneumatic. They work just great for me, and I keep my speaker strapped to it for my shows.

No adhesive or screws. Four metal, sharpened cones on the perimeter to isolate them from vibration. The speakers just rest on them.

No they don't come with a shield. I also have blown in insulation so I removed it around the speakers and put some rolled insulation in so it wouldn't get into the speaker

Yes. There is a removable fabric screen over the front. The screen has a plastic frame underneath with pins that fit into the speaker body to hold them in place. With the screen on, in non-direct lighting you can just barely see the speakers underneath

Speakers DO NOT come with covers and no provisions to put covers on unless they sell a cover that snaps over the whole face of the speaker. The subwoofer is covered with a mesh, but that is all. They say that the cones are made with a type of Kevlar or something like it to resist cuts.

The speakers are very water resistant . The amp is supposed to be... but I never risked that

Mine are mounted horizontally - absolutely no issue. I have a slight overhang to tuck them under, but they are very exposed otherwise. No issues. They look and sound like new after two nasty winters. I had Definitive indoor surrounds and was indifferent. These are excellent for outdoor speakers. (Check Amazon's Warehouse for any good deals on them. If you score a deal, grab them and don't look back.)

I don't know what your dementions are but our speakers were a pretty good size and not extactly light in weight. We have had them mounted on the wall (make sure its secure and not just in sheetrock) use special anchors or a stud for at least 2 years or more with no problems.
