The Polk Audio RC80i is a pair of in-ceiling speakers built around an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter. The 8-inch driver gives them more low-end output than the 6.5-inch models in Polk's lineup, so they suit rooms where you want bass without a subwoofer. They are aimed at whole-room and distributed audio: kitchens, bedrooms, covered patios and surround setups where flush ceiling mounting matters. Against rivals like the Polk RC60i or similar 6.5-inch in-ceilings, they trade a larger cutout and deeper required ceiling depth for stronger bass. Owners of Polk's in-ceiling line generally praise the value and the clean install, while noting that bass response depends heavily on the ceiling cavity and placement.

Owners of Polk's in-ceiling speakers tend to praise the sound for the money and the straightforward install, with the 8-inch RC80i singled out for fuller bass than smaller models. Complaints center on bass that can get boomy in tight ceiling cavities and on the larger cutout the 8-inch driver requires.
The Polk Audio RC80i is a pair of in-ceiling speakers. Each has an 8-inch Dynamic Balance composite cone woofer for bass and a 1-inch aimable soft-dome tweeter for detail. The wide dispersion spreads sound across the room.
The speakers are moisture-resistant, so they can be used in a bathroom, kitchen, or covered porch. They suit music playback and home theater surround channels. They are sold as a pair and are certified refurbished.
