Description
The Rockville WA658 pair of In-Wall speakers will take your sound to the next level. These speakers feature high end components from start to finish to give you a clear and balanced sound with great power handling. The 6.5” woofer uses a glass fiber cone that gives great low/mid frequencies. This speaker is a beast with a large 23 Oz magnet driving it. The tweeter is a silk dome 1” tweeter to give you tamed and balanced high frequencies that sound pure and real. You can even customize the amount of high frequencies using the 3 way knob on the front panel. Access is super easy with the removable magnetic grill. The speaker design looks really nice when you install it. It blends into the wall and the grill is paintable which is great if you have bright paint colors. You can also leave the grill off which is my personal preference. The design looks really cool with beveled fine imprint details. Installation is quite easy with our easy to follow installation and how-to-use videos.
How to Work
Rockville In-wall speakers are tuned while they are installed in a wall. This is taken into consideration during the design of the enclosure and the drivers, ensuring that once you install them at home, the system sounds identical to one from a speaker located farther away from the listening area.

How high should my in-wall speakers be?****
Although many in-wall speakers come with rotating tweeters that can help make up for installations high on the wall, you’ll get the greatest sound if you position the speakers at the same height as a freestanding speaker, which is roughly 2 feet above ear level.
How far should in-wall speakers be from TV?****
The stereo speakers’ spacing should correspond to how far away from the television you are seated. Each stereo speaker needs to be 3 feet away from the television, for instance, if you are sitting 6 feet from the television. Your television’s centre should be in line with the centre of the centre speaker.
Are on-wall speakers better than in-wall speakers?****
You can produce a realistic soundstage and stereo imaging by putting on-wall speakers at ear level, depending on critical listening and dispersion. These systems differ from in-ceiling speakers in that they add dimensionality in addition to the stereo effect.
How do in-wall speakers get power?****
Speakers installed in walls and ceilings are typically passive speakers. They are thus not required to be connected to a power source. They just require a connection to a receiver or amplifier that can also serve as a power supply.
Are in wall speakers worth it?****
Quality in-wall or in-ceiling speakers have several advantages for a home entertainment system when they are put properly. Some advantages to consider include decreased sound reflection, increased gains, a sleeker profile, and a more adaptable layout design.
What is the difference between in wall and in ceiling speakers?****
Simply said, ceiling speakers are positioned down-firing from the ceiling above, whilst in- and on-wall speakers are mounted front-firing with the woofers pointing horizontally across the room.
Should I box in my in wall speakers?****
Any time you mount a speaker in your ceiling or wall, a backbox should be used. The advantages of using these tools outweigh any drawbacks. Back boxes are essential to the overall value of your built-in speaker investments because they provide soundproofing, sonic enhancements, and speaker protection.
Can you put regular speakers in wall?****
The wall cavity is intended to be used by in-wall speakers in their output curve. Regular speakers will sound terrible in walls and they sound terrible coming out of walls.
Should I put insulation behind in-wall speakers?****
To enhance sound quality, think about adding some R-13 insulation to the wall cavity beneath the speakers. Insulation is typically pre-cut for breadth; all that is required is for you to cut it to length and insert it into the gap behind the speakers.
Can you use in-wall speakers for surround sound?****
In a surround sound setup, in-wall speakers can be fully functional and offer additional advantages.
Are in-wall speakers more expensive?****
In-wall speakers are typically more expensive and larger in size, but they are flexible in location and help create a loud, expansive sound in your room.
Can I use in-ceiling speakers as in-wall speakers?****
It is possible to install in-ceiling speakers in walls, and they will sound quite similar to in-wall speakers. The size is the main distinction that you’ll see. Typically, in-wall speakers are bigger than in-ceiling speakers.
Can you use wall speakers ceiling?****
In most cases, in-ceiling speakers may easily be mounted in a wall, and vice versa, and they will sound the same.
Are in wall speakers worth it?****
Quality in-wall or in-ceiling speakers have several advantages for a home entertainment system when they are put properly. Some advantages to consider include decreased sound reflection, increased gains, a sleeker profile, and a more adaptable layout design.
Do I have to use in wall speaker wire?****
The National Electrical Code requires that every wiring being put in walls be rated for in-wall installation (NEC). UL certified CL2 or CL3 is often imprinted on speaker wire that has been approved for in-wall installation.
