FAQ

Product FAQ:

Q: What is included in the Acoustic Audio by Goldwood HD516 In-Wall/Ceiling Home Theater Surround 5.1 Speaker System?
A: The package includes a complete 6 piece in-wall and in-ceiling speaker set, including 2 HD-650 wall speakers, 2 HD-6 ceiling speakers, 1 HD-6C wall center channel 3-way speaker, and 1 HDS10 wall passive sub speaker.

Q: What are the specifications of the speakers?
A: The speakers have a frequency response range of 30Hz-22kHz (HD-650), 32Hz-22kHz (HD-6), and 33Hz-22kHz (HD-6C). They have an impedance of 8ohm and a power rating of 20-350 watts (HD-6C) and 20-300 watts (HD-650, HD-6, HDS10). The woofers are made of woven fiber bulletproof material with butyl rubber surrounds, while the tweeters are pivoting titanium.

Q: Is the subwoofer single voice coil or dual voice coil?
A: The subwoofer is single voice coil.

Q: Do the speakers come with grills to cover the actual speaker?
A: Yes, they come with white push-in grills. However, the yellow speaker is visible through the grill if you are directly in front of it.

Q: Does it come with all wires for setup?
A: No, wires are not included.

Q: How do the rear round speakers hook up? These 2 speakers do not have the red and black port.
A: Two of the wires provided have little connector ends that slide on. That connection type is usually used for car speakers. You can google "car speakers" for more information.

Q: What else do I need to buy to get these speakers to work?
A: You will need to cut holes in your ceiling, so you need the tools for that. Otherwise, the package comes with everything including speaker wire. However, you may opt to use a larger gauge of wire on your system.

Q: Can the passive subwoofer be plugged directly into the Yamaha RX-A850 and used? If not, how do you use it?
A: All passive subwoofers would need a separate amp.

Q: Do I use normal speaker wire to connect the in-wall sub? Most of the in-wall gang boxes have a coax port in back.
A: Yes, you can use normal speaker wire from your subwoofer amp to the in-wall subwoofer.

Q: Do the speakers come in different colors?
A: There is another model with black instead of yellow, but it is of lesser quality (and lower price).

Q: Will the subwoofer need a subwoofer cable? Or can I use speaker wire with banana plugs?
A: No, you will need speaker wire, but you can put banana connectors on one end to connect to an amp. It needs its own amp connected to your sub amp input on the receiver. You won't need its own amp if you have a second amp built-in.
