Klipsch PRO-180RPW 8" Reference Premiere In-Wall Speaker

PRO-180RPW In-Wall Speaker

The Klipsch PRO-180RPW In-Wall Speaker brings the lively, high-output character of the Reference Premiere line into a clean, built-in architectural design. It pairs an 8" Cerametallic woofer with a 1" titanium dome tweeter loaded by a composite-coated Hybrid Cross-Section Tractrix horn for crisp dialog, dynamic slam, and controlled dispersion—ideal for both distributed audio and home theater installs. Designed for a secure, acoustically stable mount, it uses Klipsch’s modular SecureFit™ installation system to help achieve a tight, consistent fit behind the wall. Finished with a paintable, magnetic (bezel-free) grille and a PVC paint shield, it blends seamlessly into the room while delivering the detail and impact Klipsch is known for. The Klipsch PRO-180RPW is part of ListenUp's Klipsch In-Wall Speakers Collection.

What It's Good At:

• Delivering big, theater-like dynamics from a flush in-wall design
• Producing clear vocals and detail with horn-loaded titanium tweeter performance
• Creating a more consistent listening experience with controlled 90° x 90° coverage
• Disappearing into the room with a bezel-free, magnetic, paintable grille
• Supporting reliable installs with SecureFit™ clamping designed to reduce over-torquing issues
• Handling both music and movies with high sensitivity (96 dB) for strong output with less power

PRO-180RPW Q&A:

What is the Klipsch PRO-180RPW designed for?

It’s built for high-performance in-wall use in distributed audio systems and home theater setups where you want powerful sound without visible cabinets.

Does the PRO-180RPW require an amplifier or receiver?

Yes. This is a passive in-wall speaker and must be connected to an AV receiver or power amplifier.

Will it play loud with modest amplification?

Yes. With 96 dB sensitivity, it can achieve strong output with less power than many in-wall speakers.

What size cutout is required for installation?

The wall cutout should be 14.8” H x 9.25” W (37.5cm H x 23.5cm W).

How much mounting depth is needed inside the wall?

Plan for a 3.9” (9.9cm) mounting depth.

Is the grille paintable to match the wall or ceiling?

Yes. The included grille is paintable, and a paint shield is included to help protect components during finishing.

Does it include a back box?

No integrated back box is specified. The design is listed as ABS/Infinite Baffle, meaning it is intended to use the wall cavity as part of the installation.

How does it help control sound dispersion in the room?

The horn-loaded tweeter provides a 90° x 90° coverage angle, helping direct high frequencies more predictably for clearer seating-area performance.
