Klipsch PRO-160RPW 6.5" Reference Premiere In-Wall Speaker

PRO-160RPW In-Wall Speaker

The Klipsch PRO-160RPW In-Wall Speaker brings true Reference Premiere performance to a clean, architectural install—perfect for distributed audio zones or a high-impact home theater. It pairs a 6.5" Cerametallic woofer with a 1" titanium dome tweeter loaded by a composite-coated Hybrid Cross Section Tractrix® horn for dynamic output, crisp dialog, and detailed highs with controlled dispersion. Installation is designed to be fast and reliable thanks to the modular SecureFit™ system, helping deliver consistent clamping force and a stable, rattle-resistant fit. A bezel-free, magnetic, paintable grille (plus a PVC paint shield) helps the speaker disappear into the room while the sound stands out. The Klipsch PRO-160RPW is part of ListenUp's Klipsch In-Wall Speakers Collection.

What It's Good At:

• Delivering Reference Premiere-style clarity and punch in a stealth, in-wall format

• Handling both whole-home audio and home theater LCR/surround duties with high sensitivity

PRO-160RPW Q&A:

What is the PRO-160RPW best used for—home theater or whole-home audio?

Both. Its high sensitivity and controlled 90° x 90° coverage make it a strong choice for distributed audio zones, and it also performs beautifully in home theater roles where clarity and dynamics matter.

Will this in-wall speaker work with my AV receiver or amplifier?

Yes—it's 8-ohm compatible and rated for 50W RMS / 200W peak, making it a great match for most quality receivers and multi-room amplifiers.

How deep does the wall cavity need to be for installation?

Plan for a mounting depth of 3.78" (9.6cm) to ensure proper fit behind the wall.

What cutout size should be used to install it?

Use a 13" H x 8" W (33.0cm x 20.3cm) cutout for proper placement and SecureFit™ clamping.

Can the grille be painted to match my wall?

Yes. The speaker includes a white paintable magnetic grille, and a paint shield is included to help protect the speaker during finishing work.

What makes the SecureFit™ installation system beneficial?

SecureFit™ helps apply consistent clamping force and reduces the risk of over-torquing, supporting a solid, stable install that helps minimize vibrations and installation-related issues.

Is a back box or fire-rated enclosure required?

Not required for standard installs, but a Fire Rated Enclosure (ME-650-W) is available separately when code compliance or additional isolation is needed.

What comes in the box, and what might I need to buy separately?

In the box: grille and paint shield. Optional add-ons sold separately include the IK-650-W installation kit and the ME-650-W fire rated enclosure.
