Can you place these speakers horizontally inside a cabinet?

You probably could, however the sides of the speakers are curved and would require support/or bracelet so that the speakers lay flat. These speakers sound best when they are positioned 3 feet or so from a wall. Placing these speakers inside a cabinet will result in muting the rich sound they produce. These speakers are vented and need to breathe especially at higher volumes. Also consider the weight. They are heavy. Will your cabinet support the weight? How this helps?

If you are looking for speakers to place inside a cabinet horizontally, I consider the RTi A7 to be a poor choice. The weight of the speakers are over 50 lbs., and the speakers were designed to be placed on the floor vertically. Besides, these speaker are beautiful. They don't need a CABINET...

All of the speakers, including the two larger front speakers have mounting brackets on the rear of the speaker boxes (not including the subwoofer of course). If mounting in sheetrock you would need an anchor fastener for sheetrock so it's solid, but you can use a study screw to hang them from. The brackets are about 2" from the top of each speaker and could be moved if necessary. We happen to have one spot where we had to mount a speaker sideways due to space constraints and it wasn't a problem, we just unscrewed the bracket, realigned it and reattached it in a different spot.

You Can mount the speaker horizontal for Center channel that's what I did just fine however you probably have to look inside the wall and your framing and probably reconfigure wall studs

I mounted mine upside down from the ceiling in one of my RV compartments and they have been hanging there since I purchased them with no problems. You should be able to mount just about anywhere, any position. They are pretty much a sealed unit so opening may damage the speaker enclosure(not sure as I never tried).

Dear Larry,I don't recommend drilling into the speaker cabinet. There are built-in brackets to mount them flush to a wall. If you're seeking to angle them then there are wall brackets that can grab the speaker like a vice and then allow you to pivot the speaker.Eric C

Ultimately they should be mounted slightly behind the listening position At ear level (for a 5.2 system) which would require speaker stands.However if for some reason this is not practical I would suggest using the side wall

Yes you can..... since this package included brackets.. ensure you mount them tight since the speakers were heavy.

No. They can be flush mounted in any of your door panels or where ever you can cut a one inch hole. They also have hardware for a direct mount where the whole tweeter sticks out like in picture. Honestly I blew mine and got a pair of Polk components. Stayed with the 6.5's but got the Mobil monitors or mm's . They ROCK!! they have a grill that comes with them that lets you mount the tweeter in it so it looks like a coaxial but they sound way better. You can move the tweeter to another location but you'll definitely want a hundred watts each to push em

Yes they are. Can mount the speakers vertical or horizontal. Suggest using dielectric grease on outdoor speaker connections to prevent corrosion.

I have installed the center speaker horizontally and side speakers vertically. There are adjustable twitters on the, so you can position those correctly to the center of your room. Hope that helps.

You could use them as fronts, however the speakers design is for dipole rear surrounds meaning they radiate their sound from the sides of the speaker cabinet and NOT from the front. You most likely would not be pleased using them as fronts. Definitive offers better solutions for fronts.

You can, but it might be a bit wobbly. Cabinets using this type of construction typically rely on the back panel for horizontal stability. There's a 2 inch gap along the top that allows some airflow for things on the upper shelves.

Yes, I think you could mount it horizontally. I'm not sure if the DVD's would stay in the rack as well, though.

I didn't, but my speakers are not so large as to seem unstable on the stands. Also, drilling into the speaker cabinets may effect their integrity, and sound quality. If I was worried about them tipping off the stands, I would get larger stands that offer a wider stance thus greater stability.

No. They are integrated just behind the bottom front of the frame. Imagine a picture frame; speakers are facing down behind the smooth frame of the long bottom.

On my speakers cabinets, I mounted it in the same direction. There could be a "knapp" or a light-directional "sheen" to the material, so consider buying the size that fits your needs in the same direction.

They could be mounted horizontally, but they are not the same width on both ends. One end has a bigger width. They were made to be mounted vertically.
