can I use this for insulation inside speakers

This would not be good for speaker insulation. Go get some ownens pink fiberglass from somewhere like home depot, I use 4" thick. The sound needs to go through the insulation to the box yet be deadened a little, this will probably deaden it too much.

I suppose you could, but is there a reason you do not use regular acoustic insulation that you can get at your local DIY store? It is designed for home use, and should be thicker.

You could probably get 2 standard electrical cords in there or around 2-3 speaker cords. I have just 1 speaker cord with extra space all around.

I would say yes for an Instrument, but would not recommend it for a Speaker, I use a heaver cable on all of my speakers.

You will have to strip about a 1/2 inch of the insulation to make your contacts. http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/FAQ/Wiring/That's a decent article that covers most everything from car audio to home audio.

This is actually a great question. As the others have said, the backs are open, which is typically not an issue when installing into a wall or ceiling. HOWEVER...if you install into a ceiling that has blown insulation above it (the loose cellulose kind, not the rolled fiberglass kind) then you WILL want to come up with your own way of keeping the loose insulation off the backs of the speaker. If you don't (as I didn't the first time I bought these) then over time the quality and volume of the sound will lessen because of the insulation working into and pressing against the cones. I had to replace one set because of this problem.

This is not an outdoor speaker. It is not make for any of the elements and I would not sugest that at all....it works great "inside" the home

You can use it normally. It's plastic but it's well built. However if you use it in extreme condition you have to protect. But If you use it normally..be care only in front part where you can find speaker. In fact speaker could be demaged. But this problem is for all amply big and small

I presume they would be good for indoor usage. they are regular speakers in a weatherproof casing.

I don't think you should use these outside. They would not be protected from the elements.They may last a year or two days depending on how wet they got. Polk Audio sells outside speakers for all seasons. Unfortunately the don't recess but they sound great.

This was used to line the inside of pc case. I think it would be too thin for ceiling sound damping.

each foam come in 2 pcs , u may remove n rotate the top layer to suit ur listening but the foam is too soft n may not work for floor speaker

Putting anything in front of a speaker will dull the sound but it will still work. Or just put it in the ceiling

Hi, If you are talking about horizontal "blocking" with sections of 2x4 to stabilize vertical stud members, we would recommend 2 ft above and below the speaker. This would give the speaker enough air space. Any standard fiberglass insulation would be good for fill.

I plan to use a Tenmat Recessed Light cover and some self expanding foam to secure it...but I have access to the backs of the speakers- attic space.

No. You would need a soundproofing solution. This product is for sound absorption.

I made a box for mine--see details in my review 2/9/14. I don't think it affects sound much, and Polk claims the speakers have an "infinite baffle" design. If you make a box, you might want to put a layer of insulation on the inside to cover the drywall. I've noticed the drywall around the speaker gets cold during winter.
