Back box for vanishing series?

j_gibbs

Currently renovating my living room and chose to go inwall, using the following speakers.

255c-rt for center
265-rt for right and left
65-rt for rears
Rc60i for ceiling

Wondering if they will require back boxes and if they do does anyone know the proper box size to be used?

I doubt any of them require back boxes as some of them would be tough to install depending on the depth of the wall/ceiling let alone stud placement, and where you would want to mount them..

I installed atmos speakers in the ceiling in the basement, cut holes, ran wire, and installed, they sound great..

I should note that the back boxes would probably give you better sound quality, especially in the front stage, and maybe add some polyfill behind them...
