Q: QuestionCan these speakers play apart if you are placing them in different room throughout your home ?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I would assume u can play apart in a different room. It depends on the receiver. My current set up is a denon AVR 7.2 channel and my current set up in my little theater room is 5 speakers. I can add an additional two to my patio outside using my same receiver. Hope that makes sense.

Q: QuestionDo I need attic access in order to mount this speakers? I'm in a condo with no overhead access.

Asked 4 years ago by tgrissom0312.

• A:Answer The answer you received from Sonance is nonsense. If you don’t have access to the attic then you will need to fish the speaker wire all the way to the Jack behind your tv (ridiculous to think you’d fish all these speakers wires like that) Or, you could trench the drywall and patch it (also a ridiculous idea for 5 speakers). Yes, you need access to the attic to install ceiling speakers unless fishing the wires or trenching them is something you want to do. The answer you received was a “yeah sure…buy these no problem” bunch of nonsense. The truth is….you need access to your attic. Not impossible without access - but ridiculous.

Q: QuestionDoes this system require you to build a speaker enclosure to protect against existing insulation in the attic? Or are these sealed for this purpose?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer This is a great question and I would also like the answer. I guess I won’t be buying these since best buy is ignoring the question. I’m guessing they aren’t sealed for this (they want you to pay an additional $59 for the box that seals them in). Deal beaker for me. The reason this question wasn’t answered is because they want us to buy the speakers and if they told us they are going to cost $180 more dollars (for the boxes we need) then we’d keep shopping.

Q: QuestionHello, I purchased these recently. Should I also buy a backbox/enclosures? Will it effect the sound quality and recommended by manufacturer? If so, where can I purchase the enclosures? Thanks.

Asked 3 years ago by Burak.

• A:Answer Hi, Thanks for your question. We do sell retrofit enclosures for these speakers. They are intended to help reduce sound transfer from room to room and protect the speaker from foreign objects interfering with the driver's movement. They will however, limit some of the lower frequencies the speaker can produce. If you are interested in purchasing them, I've provided a link to view/purchase them on BestBuy.com below. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-visual-performance-medium-retrofit-enclosure-for-sonance-6-in-ceiling-speakers-pair-black/6290878.p?skuId=6290878 I hope you found this information helpful. If you have other questions, please call our California-based support team at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech Support. We are available Monday - Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM PST. We will be happy to help you out with your MAG5.1 speaker system and the retrofit back boxes. - Sonance Customer Support Team

Q: QuestionI see that the 2 surround sound speakers have dual tweeters. Does this mean I will need 2 pairs of speaker wire per speaker? Or will 1 speaker cable suffice? Does the surround sound speaker have 4 or 2 inputs for wires?

Asked 4 years ago by Tommy.

• A:Answer Hi, Thanks for your question. The surround speakers only need a single 2-condor speaker wire ran to each speaker location. The surround speakers connection on the back is for one speaker wire positive lead (+) and negative lead (-). I hope you found this information helpful. If you have additional questions, please call our California-based support team at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech support. We will be happy to help you out. - Sonance Customer Support Team
