RC85i do I build enclosures or not

[scrmn6guns]

Hello POLK gurus

I am adding four RC85i to my patio. The walls are framed but not enclosed at this time. Two will be wall mounts and the other two will be ceiling mounts. My question is, should I build enclosures (Cabinets) of each speaker or should I just go and mount them as described in the instructions. I see that some of the POLK speakers you can buy “performance enclosures” for and was wondering if one is made for the RC series.

Any input would be helpful.

I really thought you guys/gals would have had some input......

Inwalls are designed to go into a wall. Drywall and Insulation works just fine. No back box or enclosure needed.

Is your patio going to be water tight? The inwall cannot get wet. If water is going to get in there then go with outdoor speakers instead of inwall.

yes it will be water tight. it is almost an enclosed patio. one side is not enclosed and open to the world.
