Easy Install, great sound
By T. Wehrenberg
I was nervous about installation having never mounted one before.The template provided worked fine, don't cut any smaller than the hole you have traced out. I learned to cut just outside the line for best fit.I found the best tool for cutting the dry-wall was a jigsaw blade in a vice-grip.The connectors for the wires are a very high-quality spring-loaded design. Very easy to connect he wires with when you are up on a ladder.The cosmetic grill that covers the speaker can snap into place without any tools or need of the included adhesive pad. Worst case, you may have to pry or pound it in with your fist gently.Sound great so far. I also used a lot of leftover inslation around the spaker between the floor joists to accoustically insulate them. I have one set of these in my basement ceiling and don't want too much noise upstairs, so I even used that thick lead-weight barrier material for automotive speakers above these to help prevent that.IMHO, Yamaha strikes the right balance of cost, quality, and performance.

Great speakers
By Sanjay Poonia
I put two pairs of these in my living room and am very impressed with the sound quality and the bass output (I don't have a subwoofer connected).These are well built speakers and installation was very easy with the provided template. The swivel tweeter however did not have any impact on sound quality at different listening positions.After a comparison with Polk RC-80i, I would give these speakers a higher grade than the Polks.

The exchange value is there. Pound for pound the best 8" speakers I have ever owned. These will not handle all receiver can push on front channels but excellent, clear & bright mids & highs. Need another pair.Thib
