  • QuestionCan these be used outdoors, in a ceiling in a screened in porch area?

    Asked by ryan201.

    • Answer Thanks for the question. Yes, the Sonance MAG6R speakers can work outside as you describe however, they are not designed to be used in areas that would expose them to excessive heat, cold, water, moisture, etc. Installing the speakers in a place that is open to outside elements could shorten the expected usable life of the speaker, so we do not recommend installing/exposing them to these environments. We do have a speaker that is designed specifically for harsh environments it's our Visual Performance Extreme line of speakers which can be viewed here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=Sonance+extreme+&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys I do realize these speakers are more expensive than the Sonance MAG6R however, we have engineered them to live in/withstand the outside elements. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have additional questions, please give us a call at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech support. We will be happy to help you out. - Sonance Customer Support Team

    Asked by Texashomeowner.

    • Answer Hi Texas homeowner.

  • QuestionGiven the model number, I'm guessing these are specific to the Magnolia line. How do these compared to the Sonance VP66R or VP64R? Are they comparable or are these entry level compared to those?

    Asked by Grizz.

    • Answer Thanks for your question. The MAG6R speakers are built for and sold exclusively at Best Buy. Because they are designed and developed separately from the speakers in our VP line, it’s difficult to draw a comparison.

  • QuestionCan these be installed on the patio and garage?

    Asked by wayne.

    • Answer Garage yes, patio...that is iffy. They're not technically outdoor speakers, but I would feel confident if this was installed in an outdoor ceiling (screened porch or sun room) where they would be protected 100% from precipitation. If it's just under an eave, then no way.

  • Questionwhat would be a good center speaker (for voice) to use with these in a 5.2 surround system?

    Asked by pwats.

    • Answer I have a 5.1.4 system and use the Mag6r's in the ceiling. I used the sonance visual performance 6-1/2" 2-way in-wall speaker for my center channel speaker. And holy crap does it sound amazing. The best buy theater guru informed me the center channel would not be a speaker to skimp on. It is pricey, but well worth it.
