could i use this speaker for all 5 channels? or should i buy a dedicated center channel and have these at the front and back sides?

You could. I don't know how it would work/look for center. But def plenty of bass if you turn your crossover up on receiver.

I believe you can use it but I would highly recommend BIC America FH6-LCR Dual 6.5-Inch 175-Watt LCR Speaker with Mid/High Frequency Horn I have this as my center and the clarity is unbelievable. This is a BIG center speaker so make sure you have space for it.

BIC in fact does not make an in wall center channel speaker. I would recommend the wall mountable PL 28II About $200. Great center channel. And absolutely the best bang for the buck.

You could. But I would use them for front and rear and buy a dedicated woofer for bass. Mids and highs sound great but if you want some bass a woofer is recommended.

these are designed for front and back channels. Would sound better if you had a center speaker. these make good surround sound speakers

I would use them for the front and the back and get a dedicated center channel

Personally I prefer a different center channel speaker that is designed to play center channel frequency. You could use this as a center just fine though.

If you are installing only two front and two rear speakers they should work fine. If you are planning a 5:1 surround system they do not perform well as center channel speakers.

The amplifier only has two channels. How do you intend to create a third channel? It would, I imagine, defeat the purpose to parallel the front left and right speakers so you can have a center channel. And you have stated nothing regarding the specs of the speakers you do have (I'm not going to look them up) so, with the information you have provided, the answer is NO. Given the minimal information you provide, it appears that this amp would light up two of the three speakers, or one of the three speakers you have, depending upon how you configured the amp in- and outputs.

No, Most of your Dialogue comes out of the front. I have always started with the center channel. I would splurge on the center channel before I spent money on the rears. Just my two cents.

Sure you can. I used this speaker combo as a center channel and I installed the circular speakers in my ceiling for my other channels. So far regardless of my setup, the receiver has done all the rest. I have true cinema quality sound now. Good luck, Salvador

It would be fine to use a center speaker but I would rather recommend this speaker as it is designed to be a center...Polk Audio 255C-RT In-wall / In-ceiling center channel speaker

I wished I could answer your question but I am presently away from home. I purchased this one as a center channel. It sounds amazing for this (I have a lot of power going to it and it holds up nicely). I used the 2 screw slots on either side to mount it. If I remember to I will pull it down tomorrow and see if it has a threaded mount and get back to you.

If you're not concerned with the separating the sound of left, right, front and rear speakers, sure. You'll just have a mono channel running all of your speakers the same. I have a different 4 channel amp powering my component speakers and this amp powering 2 Kenwood shallow 12's. Sounds great!

yes, it's an excellent center channel speaker, you can loop all of the speakers on it together to create a center channel bar.That how I am using mine, and it sounds great.

You don't have to. I actually used these as my rear surround and the TSi400's for the front and a cs-10 for the center. But I'm sure 4 of these and a sub would sound excellent. If you want the full "5.1" you'll need a center speaker. 5.1 = 5 (speakers) .1 (subwoofer) roughly

Ideally all front speakers, Left, Center, Right should be the same for optimal performance. Using the OWM3 as left/right main would work, and probably sound OK. I disagree with a previous comment on deficient bass response, as the very low frequencies would be handled by the sub/LFE channel with a powered sub. I would select "small speakers" on your 7.1 reciever for the front speakers when setting up your system- this will send all lower frequencies(>120hz) to the sub channel.

You Can mount the speaker horizontal for Center channel that's what I did just fine however you probably have to look inside the wall and your framing and probably reconfigure wall studs

no, this is a 3.1 soundbar with L /R/and center built in, you need a center channel speaker only

I would think so since it has separate connections for each channel. But if you only hooked up the center channel connections I doubt you will be taking advantage of all the speakers.

I think it will "work" but center channel speakers are designed mainly for dialogue. As such, they are specialized and somewhat one trick ponies. I would buy two good front speakers.

Yes you can. That's exactly what I did with mine. Spliced the speakers wire from all 3 speaker terminals together & connected them to my center channel input on my amp. Great center channel speaker!

I use mine for the front stage in 5 channel surround sound mode as well as 2 channel stereo while listening to music. Sound great with plenty of mid base.
