Wow! Really cool. I followed for the Boxster efforts but this is great as well. Great channel!
+Allan Crocket thanks man!
Pro tip... Label the cables if you do not have a tone tester. You can write a number 1 on both sides of the cable then 2 on both sized 3 on both sides ect ect
+Frx Crypto Tradesmen absolutely! Assuming you are there when it’s being wired.
Connect the red and black at the speaker then test for continuity at the other ends, that'd be another method.
in case this helps anyone else, if you are butted up against a stud, you can just attach a 1.5" by 1.5" piece of wood, remove the dog leg, and drill a screw threw the support hole(s). this was recommended by a klipsch rep on their forum
this is my plan because i know several of my locations will be against studs
+joshruehlig great idea! That would be a lot easier
This is genius. I was just gonna run a screw through the dog leg hole at an angle into the stud but this is much smarter
Thanks for putting this together - I just ordered 6 5800's for the front, sides, and rear. I was surprised to see you using one of these for the center channel. I am curious how this turned out - I was planning to grab a dedicated center in wall with multiple woofers but perhaps it's overkill! Would love to know how your experience has been - all those around me suggesting a larger center. Thanks
+Forager nice! I think it works great the way I have it set up. I always heard to match the center 🤷♂️.
Can you tell me the height and width of the screens for this speaker? The online specs tell the cutout size but not the final size on the wall. Thanks!
+Matt Seaton I was about to go down and measure for you, but I remembered they are behind my screen now 😬
Good video and a great setup. All the drywall in my basement is being redone, so I am putting in-walls in. These get rave reviews and are reasonably priced... I have a question. I'm weary of the center channel behind the TV (I will have a normal 65" TV) Does the sound from the center suffer? Do you just compensate by turning it up? Would love some real-use feedback. THANKS!
+phillycandyman thanks! If you’re putting it behind an actual real TV, then yes it would suffer. Mine is behind an acoustically transparent screen, so it is meant for the sound to be able to pass through.
@@HelpMeDIY I thought so. I'd love that screen and projection, but my budget says no. I am going Klipsch In-walls for the remodel. I'll put the center above or below. Key is to Aim it at ear-level.
@@phillycandyman well you know the screen was a DIY that I built for under $200 right…? :)
Why did you have to notch the stud if you centered the opening it between the studs? I’m a little confused. How wide are those speakers?
+P F could have been poor measuring on my part or the framers…
He said studs are 12" apart which, if true, is the odd bit
how are you enjoying the HT room ? also, do you really like your in wall klipsch speakers ? i'm considering all in-walls too, and wanted to know how the sound quality was on those??
+Troy Henry loving the theater! Working from home is so much more enjoyable down there 😂
I like the in walls. They are plenty for me and amaze non-audiophiles. They are definitely no towers or anywhere near “high end”, but a great bang for the buck.
@@HelpMeDIY Aaron, I plan on going with all klipsch in walls myself for my little space of 12x13x9.
With dual subs.
I should be good to go!!
@@troyhenry3267 How did the r5800wii sound in your theater?
Are the tweeters directional? can you move them left/right?
Good question. I believe so.
How many of 5800 speakers did you install? I have a small media room so maybe 1 front and 2 sides.
+Jake Lee 3 in front behind the screen. 2 on the sides and 2 more in the rear
Thank you for the informative video. I noticed that you installed your in-walls into what it seems an outer wall. I also noticed that you pushed aside all insulation exposing your cinder blocks. What part of the country are you that you are not concerned with breaking air and vapor barrier? I’m in Massachusetts and I’m wrestling with how to install inwalls without removing too much of the foam insulation in the outer walls. Here in New England that’s is pretty important. Any thoughts on how to tackle that install? Thank you.
+elconsejero that’s a great question. I’m in NC, so not nearly as cold. I’m not sure of the “best” way, but I just figured the point of it is to prevent air from flowing through. If the insulation is tucked up against the speakers, I think the speaker itself would prevent some air flow as well. I probably should have left a thin layer against the block 🤷♂️ If someone else with more experience could chime in that would be great.
I thought you need air behind the speakers at least 2 feet boxed in for better accustics
