Sonance - MEDIUM ROUND RETRO ENCLOSURE - MAG Series Retrofit Enclosure for 6.5" In Ceiling Speakers (Pair) - Black

Definitely worth adding to your Sonance speakers. Added them to in ceiling speakers. Helps acoustics of the speakers.

They look nice !!! Keeps the sound its place and helps your speakers have longevity due to insulation. If you trying to keep the sound in its place and keeps from going Thu the walls or next floor above, this is it. Look at them, a little high but worth it

Retrofit kit is needed if you are cutting the speakers into the ceiling. These enclosures will keep dust, insulation and other contaminates from compromising your speakers.

I thought these were a little pricey for plastic covers, but they are very well-made. They fit perfectly and have a rubber gasket that runs the full perimeter of the cover, giving a tight seal on the back of the speaker, preventing any dust dirt or debris intrusion into the speaker. This was a must for me as I have blown in insulation in my attic. The first two speakers, I installed a fabricated cardboard boxes with some foam rubber insulation in the back by the time I spent couple hours doing that as well as buying cement to glue them down this was much faster and easier. Plus, you can install the backings prior to installing the speaker and it just makes for a very quick and easy installation I cannot really speak as any acoustic benefits or hindrance. I tested the speaker both with and without the backing cap couldn’t really tell a significant difference between either. I’m quite sure the covers do help muffle any sound emanating from the back of the speaker as far as bleeding into the rest of the house. Overall, very satisfied with the product and do recommend

I recently had the Geek Squad install my home theatre. The home came pre-wired with a 5-speaker surround sound configuration, so I decided to get the Sonance 5.1 speaker kit. I added these enclosures to the install to protect the speakers from insulation and dust that are certain to drop, no doubt causing vibrations and interference with the speaker cones. I was glad I did because a lot of insulation dropped from the holes cut for the speakers and these enclosures are a necessity. They are actually designed quite nice with nice lettering and two sets of terminals for hooking up the speaker wire. It's almost a shame they have to be hidden. They include a rubber gasket, also to prevent any speaker vibration. The enclosures also help with directing the sound into the room and not all over the attic space. My only complaint is that they are sold in pairs, and since I only needed 5, I have an extra enclosure that I should never need...that could have saved me about $30 to spend on things like subwoofer cables, etc.
