(If you're not sure a dealer is "authorized," call Polk Audio at 1-800-377-7655, and ask us.) The warranty is not transferrable, that means it applies only to the original purchaser. If you purchase your speakers from a private individual, that product is considered "used" and has NO factory warranty, no matter what the seller implies. The warranty is VOID if the serial number of the speaker has been removed or defaced.

Review: Easy to install, good performance, slight edge over the RC80i - I was really impressed with how easy these were to install. The user's guide clearly walked me through the process even though these were the first in-wall speakers I've installed. It also comes with a very handy template to ensure it's a "cut once" process with no regrets (or spackle). Since there's a lip on the frame you don't need to be worried about making a perfectly smooth cut through the drywall since the rough edges are hidden. I was torn between these and the RC80i model. Both had identical tech specs on the Polk site. What sealed the deal in terms of the RC85i model is that it is a bit more shallow than the RC80i (depth of 2 and 7/8 inches for the RC85i versus 3 and 1/4 inches with the RC80i). More importantly, the tweeter assembly on the RC85i is a bit different. According to Polk, the tweeter in the 85i has a plate underneath it that helps project the sound. This is not found in the 80i. But the proof is in the sound, and these sound wonderful. I'm using them in a basement wired to a Denon AV receiver in the LR. While the sound can't compete with the Kef's I have in the LR, the Polks sound far better than I expected given the price. Very pleased! They also are very aesthetically pleasing. The grill is nicely made, and can be painted. As with installation, clear and detailed instructions on painting the grills are in the user's guide. Good sound, good looks and good price - can't ask for more! Highly recommend.
Review: Perfect for creating your Dolby Atmos system - Yeah, you just can't beat these guys for the price and the sound. I use them as Atmos speakers in my home theater room. They sound great and almost disappear into a white ceiling. Super easy installation. The directional tweeters offer a nice level of sound adjustment you just won't get with a fixed tweeter. My room is on the smaller side, so I only needed a pair of them. Well worth the money. They would also work well as stand alone ceiling audio speakers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the minimum required depth for this speaker?**
A: The pdf manual of the 60i shows a depth of 2 3/8”. So, as long as there’s just a bit of extra depth for the wire, that should be Ok

**Q: How much does each speaker weigh? Will it flex a 2x4 drop ceiling panel?**
A: Hello,
Each speaker weighs 2.5 lbs.

**Q: Are these too heavy to install in an office setting with ceiling panels?**
A: I really would not know. I installed them in my ceiling in the sheet-rock and the fit was snug and strong. It depends on the material the ceiling panels are made off. The speakers themselves are not that heavy. Regards !

**Q: how large of amounting hole in ceiling?**
A: The cutout is 9-3/8" hole diameter. Mounting depth: 3-1/4". Anytime you need info like this you can go to crutchfield for the answer. But I have these on my patio and this is the hole size you will need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound Incredible
*by D***L on June 22, 2025*

Love, love, love these speakers. They changed my movie watching experience. It feels like I’m actually there in real life when watching movies. They sound better than the speakers at my local theater. They are an excellent value for the money as well. Being able to paint the speaker grilles makes it so I don’t even notice them. They look fantastic. They are a great value for the price. I never imagined they would sound this good at this price. They work very well. II highly recommend for them your home theater room. Very simple installation.
