QuestionDo they need a can in back of the speaker
Asked 1 year ago by Rick.
- Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. We offer a retrofit enclosure for these speakers to help reduce sound transfer from room to room. However, they are not required. I've put a link below to the enclosures for you.

However, you can use them as height channels or as rear channels as well. I hope you found this information helpful.

QuestionCan I connect these to a jukebox
Asked 1 year ago by Docc.
- Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. These speakers will work with most standard low-impedance (8 ohm) amplifiers. I would recommend checking with the manufacturer of the jukebox to verify they would be compatible. You can check the speaker's specifications by visiting the product page on BestBuy.com or by clicking the link below and clicking the "Show Full Specs" button on the page. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-mag6r-mag-series-6-1-2-2-way-in-ceiling-speakers-pair-paintable-white/5852330.p?skuId=5852330 I hope you found this information helpful.

QuestionCan you daisy chain these speakers?
Asked 2 years ago by 8675309.
- Answer Depends on what you mean by that and the limits of your amp or receiver. Wiring them in series (end to end) will increase the resistance with each speaker. One = 8 ohms, two = 16 ohms and so on. Wiring them in parallel (side by side) will reduce the resistance with each one added. Some amps/receivers can handle a wider range of load/resistance than others. There are also selector boxes that adjust the load resistance depending on how many speakers are turned on. Also know that additional speakers will require additional power.

QuestionCan these speaker be installed only on drywall or does it need a 2 X 4 or a ply? Can the Sheetrock bear it’s weight?
Asked 3 years ago by Vik.
- Answer I have these mounted in a hung ceiling which has way less rigidity than drywall. I did end up taking some hangers to relieve some of the flex in the hung ceiling tile. Drywall should be no problem. The clamps to hold us are made for drywall or plywood or hang ceiling type of thickness.

QuestionWhat is the functionality of a speaker enclosure and are enclosures needed for this speaker?
Asked 4 years ago by SpeakerEnclosure.
