- Do I need an amplifier for the Polk 265-RT?
- Yes. It is a passive speaker with no built-in amp, so it needs an AV receiver or amplifier and speaker cable.
- Can I use it as a surround or rear channel?
- Yes. It works well for surround and rear channels, though Polk does not list it as a height-channel speaker.
- What size hole does it need?
- It is a 6.5-inch woofer in-wall, so check Polk's cutout dimensions for the 265-RT before cutting; the mounting uses a template and clamps.
- Can I paint the grille?
- Yes. The grille is paintable so it can match your wall, which is why it comes in black and white.
- Does it have Bluetooth or streaming built in?
- No. There is no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay or app control; all streaming comes from the receiver or source you connect.
- Is it worth it over a two-way in-wall?
- The added midrange driver gives fuller vocals and midbass than most two-way in-walls, which matters most in a home theater setup.
