Our take on the Polk Audio 65-RT In-Wall, 2-Way

The Polk Audio 65-RT is a 2-way in-wall speaker built around a 6.5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, with a rotating tweeter that lets you aim high frequencies toward the listening seat. It is a passive speaker: no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay or app control, so it needs an amplifier or AV receiver and standard speaker cable. It suits surround and background installs where you want sound from a wall without a box on the floor. Against flush in-wall rivals it stands out for the aimable tweeter and Polk's Vanishing series mounting, but it is a plain passive design with no room correction or wireless streaming.

Cons

What reviewers say

Owners of Polk's in-wall line generally praise the clean installed look and the aimable tweeter, and treat these as solid value for surround duty. Most criticism centers on modest bass and the installation effort rather than sound quality.

What people mention

Questions and answers

Do I need an amplifier or receiver?
Yes. The 65-RT is a passive speaker with no built-in amplification, so it needs an AV receiver or amplifier and standard speaker cable.
Can I aim the tweeter?
Yes. The 1-inch tweeter rotates so you can point it toward the listening position, which helps in corners and side walls.
Does it stream music over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
No. It has no wireless streaming, AirPlay, Spotify Connect or app control. Any streaming comes from the receiver or source you connect.
Is it good for surround and rear channels?
Yes. It is a common choice for surround and rear duty, where the aimable tweeter and flush fit matter more than deep bass.
Do I need a subwoofer with it?
For movies and music with low bass, yes. The 6.5-inch woofer handles midbass but does not reach subwoofer depths.
What is in the box?
The speaker, its mounting bracket and grille, and installation instructions. Speaker wire and an amplifier are not included.
Where is the Polk Audio 65-RT In-Wall, 2-Way cheapest?
