Review: Great speakers, first time in-wall speaker installer, results are excellent! - Item shipped quickly, was received in great shape. Installation is a snap and instructions are easy to follow. For those a little uneasy about cutting holes in your walls to mount speakers, don't worry. This was my first time installing in-wall speakers. If you are at least marginally handy, have the basic tools needed, and use the provided template it will look like it was professionally installed. The speakers sound great. I power them with a Pioneer VSX-1020 and the sound is great. You will likely need a subwoofer as these do not provide enough bass to fill a room by themselves. I added the Polk Audio PSW505 and it provides excellent bass. The only negative I have is that the speaker coverings/grates are a little flimsy. They are magnetic and sit flush to the wall which gives a very clean look, but mine were slightly bowed at the bottom and are therefore not completely flush with wall. If I worked at it, I could probably bend them a little to make them flush. This did not affect my rating as I think these are excellent speakers. Review: One impressive in-wall speaker - I purchased this speaker as a stand-alone center channel speaker for my 5.1.2 channel audio system. And out of the 7 speakers I have installed, this is by far the best of the bunch. Even compared to the other Polk speakers I used, this thing imparts serious depth and detail to my audio. And it's perfect for the center channel, which is more focused on voices in my system. The size of the woofers allows the speaker to really emphasize the sound, volume and tone of voices, so our dialogue is crystal clear. I'm not sure about the specific numbers, but I believe it handles power more effectively too. It gets a bit louder than my Front side speakers when playing the same audio, perhaps it's the two-woofer design or maybe just an better S/N ratio. Regardless, it just works. As a true testament to how much I love this speaker, I am seriously thinking about replacing my other Polk in-wall speakers with this. Unfortunately, this guy is a lot more expensive and only sold as a single speaker. Wish Polk would offer it in a discounted pair!!! ## Features - CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND WITH DEEPER BASS, Polk audio speakers are powered by Dynamic Balance, Distance Toggle & Polk's patented Power Port technology; the 265-RT in-wall speaker comes with (2) 6.5" Mid/Woofer & a 1" swivel-mount Silk Dome Tweeter - BUILD A HIGH-PERFORMANCE HOME THEATER SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS - Designed to offset reflective surfaces with no sound distortions, use this 3-way speaker as LEFT/RIGHT SURROUND SOUND SPEAKERS OR REAR SURROUNDS in a 3.1, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channel system - EASY TO MOUNT AND INSTALL CEILING & IN-WALL SPEAKERS - PERFECT FIT TEMPLATES, a precision flange, (available) pre-construction brackets and the PATENTED ROTATING CAM system ensure secure, vibration-free installation - This in-wall loudspeaker VANISHES INTO THE WALL giving you a clean look, becoming CENTER STAGE OF ROOM-FILLING SOUND ideal for home theater speakers; paint the wafer-thin sheer grille in any color you want and it EASILY BLENDS INTO YOUR HOME DECOR - Polk’s UNWAVERING COMMITMENT, RELIABILITY, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP has made it one of the most trusted names in home audio speakers.

The cutout dimensions would need to be 19-3/16" H x 7-1/4" W and the mounting depth is 3-1/4" using a 1/2" drywall. **Q: Thinking of using this for the front left and right. What would be the best center speaker that will match the timbre? In wall or bookshelf.** A: I don't think you will tell any difference. I use the center A6 and it sounds great. I would get the matching in wall center. The bookshelf type are large. FYI. Book shelves so have more bass. Not that you need that from a center. My center is very large and has lots of low end. It needs to be turned down to match my in wall speakers. **Q: Does this come with a back box enclosure ?** A: It does not. In typical installations, the wall you mount it in serves as the acoustic enclosure. **Q: I need shallow speakers to replace what i have. Cant find anything appropriate. If i wanted to install these in a custom box what would be the size?** A: I spoke to a rep from Polk and they recommend building a custom cabinet that's 1.5 cubic feet. So, you're looking at a pretty big box. Though you could probably fudge the numbers a bit on the smaller end and it won't drastically impact the sound as long as you don't go too small. You may end up losing out on some bass, but a sub will help. Ex: 35" (h) x 10" (w) x 6" (d) = 1.2 cubic feet. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great speakers, first time in-wall speaker installer, results are excellent! *by E***A on July 30, 2014* Item shipped quickly, was received in great shape.

The grills are very low profile, attach via magnets, and the grill mesh is very fine with a high-end look. The speakers went in easily and secured to the wall firmly. I used these for my fronts in a 5.1.2 system, matched with the Polk 255crt (center), 65rt (rears), 70rt (ceiling presence) for an ATMOS system. After calibrating my levels I am blown away with the sound! These produce phenomenal clarity in both instruments and voice. The transition from one speaker to the next is perfect, being timbre matched. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I highly recommend these for anyone looking at installing a clean in-wall system. ## Frequently Bought Together - Polk Audio 265-RT 3-Way in-Wall Speaker - The Vanishing Series | Easily Fits in Ceiling/Wall | High-Performance Audio - Use in Front, Rear or as Surrounds | with Power Port & Paintable Grille - Black - Polk Audio 255c-RT in-Wall Center Channel Speaker (2) 5.25" Drivers - The Vanishing Series | Easily Fits into The Wall | Power Port | Paintable Grille Black, White - Polk Audio 65-RT in-Wall Speaker (1) 6.5" Driver - The Vanishing Series with Premium Sound | Power Port & Paintable Grille White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1328270-polk-audio-265-rt-3-way-in-wall-speaker-vanishing](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1328270-polk-audio-265-rt-3-way-in-wall-speaker-vanishing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
