    Choose by Room

    LiveInSmart guidance:

    • **IWO 812** — 2 1/2 way, bass reflex on-wall/in-wall speaker. A 2½-way IWO 800 shallow-profile speaker with two 4-inch woofers and two passive radiators.
    • **IWO 802** — 2 way, bass-reflex on-wall/in-wall speaker. A compact 2-way IWO 800 on-wall/in-wall speaker with a 4-inch woofer.

    Components You'll Need

    A passive speaker: it needs an AV receiver or power amplifier. A subwoofer is recommended for films.

    Installation Considerations

    Applies to both models:

    • Decide on-wall or in-wall before the wall finish is done
    • Plan speaker cable routes inside the wall or conduit
    • Keep left and right at the same height and distance from the screen
    • Add a subwoofer for films
