Review:
The Polk Audio 90-RT 3-Way In-Ceiling Speaker is an excellent choice for anyone who wants high-quality sound with deep bass even at low frequencies. The Dynamic Balance and Polk's Dual band-pass bass ports make sure that the sound is clear and distortion-free. The 3-way driver array produces big, full-range performance from a small in-ceiling speaker that protrudes only 0.3" from its surroundings. The speaker is easy to mount and install with perfect fit templates, a precision flange, and a patented rotating cam system. The wafer-thin sheer grille can be painted to match any home decor, making it blend in seamlessly. Customers have given this speaker a rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, making it a highly recommended product.
