Just obtained a pair of RT f/x surrounds for a friends system. Cannot find info on Polk site. If anyone has a manual, or knows, I just want to know:

1) When mounted on side walls, which side of speaker is to face TV? (Side with tweeter and driver, or side with driver and port? )

2) If mounted on rear wall, which side of the 2 speakers should face each other?

Thanks for any help.

    Thanks guys. Asked as while reading about other surround speakers with drivers on 2 sides, it stated the speakers usually have an arrow indicating which side should face TV when side wall mounted, and that arrows should face each other when mounted on rear wall.

    I would try them first as ...

    - On the side with tweeter facing forward
    - In the rear with tweeter facing inward

    However ... Try them both ways in each position and see what you like ...
