Sounds good and was pretty easy to install, seems well built, I doubt I'll ever get a call back from the customer I bought this for. Handles what it says it will power wise. Blends into the ceiling well and looks good.

Ok, see below for original frustrations... I did eventually figure out that adding magnets in the corners completely resolved the "death from above" of the falling grill situation in my theater room, and I got these things POUNDING. See picture, search for B09L12YG7R or "Round Ring Disc Magnets 18 x 3 Hole 5 mm" and you'll get the product I used, it's a perfect fit. I also found I had to add foam weather stripping around the flange where the speaker meets the drywall to keep them from buzzing, I used B075PB9336 for this, it is 7/20-Inch x 6/25-Inch weather stripping. This additional effort has completely changed my entire opinion of these subwoofers. These subwoofers have been astonishingly good, very receptive in the sub-bass zone, response well under 35Hz and 4 of them are enough to shake a 4000 square foot house. Your amp's response range will be the limiting factor. So I'm updating these from 1 star to 5, but they do require a bit of augmentation to get working at full volume. The reason I'm back here with an update, is at very high volume, multiple nights a week, with a cheap amp feeding them dirty power, 3 years later, I have finally blown one (setup is 7.2 with four 8ohm speakers in 2 series pairs at 4ohms - see picture to see the setup). It was a glorious dance party listening to my teenage daughter's "Brazilian Phonk" or whatever the heck it's called, we absolutely roasted one of the 4 subs. "THE BASS GODS ARE PLEASED!!!!!" I purchased another without hesitation, and then realized my hate review was still up, so I had to give an update. Hope this helps. It does also appear the general build quality has gone up over the last three years, the glue and solder accuracy on the new sub is much cleaner, and it appears the wires connecting the terminals to the driver spool are much thicker with much more play for cone movement. Best of luck, continue sacrificing to the bass gods..... ***Original hatred from September 2022*** I bought 4 total, two of them the grills simply will not stay on. I'm going to have to figure something out, I can't have them falling on people's heads while we're watching movies, this is super dumb. Thanks for creating another problem for me? The other Pyle in-ceiling speakers have grills that very positively attach, not sure why Pyle went with this horrible grill design for their subwoofer line. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, what arrives is nothing close to the image, it's a white plastic speaker basket, not metal, though I can't say as it actually matters, they're built well enough. They are 8ohm and have two sets of terminals if you want to run them in series or parallel. These get one star for pissing my wife off.

I was surprised by the bass output of this guy given his price. From my standpoint, worth it. If you're trying to build a room system on the cheap, add some better sound to a kid or teens room, or do something along the whole house lines, this is really an economical buy that could partner well with some ceiling speakers and make listening better than that $40-50 bluetooth speaker you planned to buy. A ceiling 8" costs about the same as this sub, so two ceilings and this sub and that's about the price of two cheap bluetooth speakers, but would be an improvement. I should note, that I like wired here and didn't need a wireless application, so I can understand folks using the bluetooth for those purposes.

I have a few in wall speaker by Pyle and they sound amazing - but this sub, I was weary to buy it cuz, c'mon - an in wall sub... How good can that sound right? Well this one particularly, I've had it for about 4 months now and finally got it hooked up just now. I ordered a 80w sub amp to push this 350w sub.. It started off good until I tried to level it with the existing speakers (too quiet) when I got to a decent mix between mids and the sub well that sub started shaking and rattling like it was already blown but it's not blown - it's just the plastic casing around the speaker and it doesn't help that the magnet is loose under the plastic. I know a little about speakers and I'm sure the magnet shouldn't be loose.. All in all, now I have a hole in my wall where I want a sub to go but it is too late now to return it even though I was my first day... Live and learn. I still like their products cuz I'm betting if I could have returned it for a new one it probably would have been fine.. Might have just been defective. Who knows

By way of reference, I also have an HTD Level-3 box subwoofer in another room to compare with. I have two of these, wired series/parallel for a total load of 8-ohms, and they're remarkably good value if you install them well. Like all in-wall subwoofers, they need a solid wall. I have mine mounted in a wall faced with 3/8" OSB and then a layer of 1/2" sheetrock, with sound damping glop between the two. I spent some time to add a thick layer of sealant to the basket (frame) on the back, as well as a randomized pattern of same on the magnet back. That made these go from 'quite good', to 'very impressive', especially for the very low price. I'm powering them with a class-D amp with a realistic output of around 100W (advertised as a lot more of course) and they add a lot to a movie soundtrack. They're not going to plumb the depths that a $1k box sub could deliver, but for an extremely discreet and very cost effective speaker, they're perfect for a normal living room setup, especially coupled with 8" ceiling speakers, which need that extra bit of bottom end to bring action movies to life.

This speaker is unusable for me. It installed nicely and looks great. The speaker itself puts out some nice bass and sounds good. However even at a moderate listening level the grill rattles. The included glue strips hold the grill in securely. Problem is the metal grill itself catches too much air and flexes back and forth vibrating. Also even without the grill the plastic housing rattles between the drywall at higher volumes. I think this could be fixed with some silicone or foam gasket. Bottom line is I have to replace it. It's unacceptable.

This matched a pair of speakers eold by the same company that literally had no bass. Adding this speaker to the pair, was a necessary evil, but lacks the range and thump I had hoped for. I will say that they are easy to install in a drop ceiling, and the sound quality is good for the price.

Bought a couple hundred watt amp and sub sounds great - very happy

no le doy 5 estrellas porque no viene con instructivo, tuve que solicitar ayuda del servicio técnico de Pyle USA y la gente no es amable, parece que te hacen el favor de atender

Doesn't work

Decent look and haven't fix yet

Very strong and deep sound
