For the uninitiated, there is a basic difference between normal speakers and in-ceiling speakers with the primary difference being their position in the room. While traditional speakers occupy a certain amount of space either on table, side stands or bolted from the wall, in-ceiling speakers use ceiling cavities as large speaker cabinets so one need not to worry about the room space that usually gets used by the huge sizes of these speakers. Here are ten best in-ceiling speakers in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->  <\/p>\n<h4>1.       Polk Audio RC80i<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you want top notch sound for all of your audio requirements, ranging from your soundtracks and movies, <a href=\"https:\/\/11l.us\/ko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polk Audio RC80i <\/a>can easily offer you a fascinating deal without compromising your desktop space for placing your speakers. Each of the speakers on this stereo set comes with 8\u00e2\u0080\u009d dynamic balance woofer and 1\u00e2\u0080\u009d dynamic balance tweeter for an enriched sound experience. The specifications are given below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>    Frequency response &#8211; 50-20,000 Hz (-3 dB)<\/li>\n<li>    8-ohm impedance<\/li>\n<li>    Sensitivity &#8211; 90 dB<\/li>\n<li>    Handles up to 100 watts<\/li>\n<li>    Moisture-resistant materials <\/li>\n<li>    Paintable white matte grilles<\/li>\n<li>    Cutout: 9-3\/8&#8243; diameter<\/li>\n<li>    Mounting depth: 3-1\/4&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>    Lifetime warranty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2.       Polk Audio RC60i<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>From the makes or RC80i, comes Polk Audio RC60i which is literally a smaller sibling of the former. Offering to fit into an even smaller space, RC60i sports smaller driver sizes at \u00c2\u00be\u00e2\u0080\u009d dynamic balance tweeter and 6-1\/2\u00e2\u0080\u009d dynamic balance woofer.
