FAQ:
Q: Are these sold as a set of two?
A: Yes, they are sold as a set of two.

Q: Can I use them as rear speakers in an open theater room with Bose 691 speakers at the front? Any recommendations for center speaker, subwoofer & AV receiver?
A: Yes, the Virtually Invisible 591 In-Ceiling Speaker would be a great addition to your home theater setup. Some customers use one of our Virtually Invisible 191 speakers for the center channel. We recommend purchasing a receiver with around 100 watts per channel and the functions (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB input) you are looking for.

Q: How many watts does it have?
A: The Virtually Invisible 591 speakers are compatible with receivers offering 10-100 W per channel, 4-8 ohms.

Q: Do these have sufficient bass response, or would you recommend a standalone subwoofer to compliment?
A: While the bass coming out of these is okay, we recommend getting a subwoofer for that added bass punch.

Q: Does the 591 set include installation brackets?
A: There are mounting brackets built into the speaker for installation into Sheetrock.

Q: Are these speakers compatible with Bose PS28III?
A: No, they are not compatible. These through the wall speakers are wired, while the Bose PS28III uses Bluetooth technology for a wireless connection.

Q: Are they Dolby Atmos compatible?
A: Yes, they can be connected to any Atmos compatible receiver.

Q: Can I paint on the speaker cover to blend into the ceiling paint?
A: Yes, these speakers feature easily paintable grilles with a built-in bezel and no cloth scrim – so excess paint won’t clump or soak into the scrim.

Q: Can I use this for my car? They will be completely covered.
A: No, these speakers are not recommended for use in a car.
