What size should surround speakers be?
The surround speakers and subwoofer (or front speakers) will produce surround back channel audio. When configuring the speaker size, as a general guideline, select “Large” if the woofer diameter of your speaker is 16 cm (6.1/4”) or larger, or “Small” if it is smaller than 16 cm (6.1/4”).
What is considered a large room for audio?
Still, the following definitions should put you in the ballpark: Small room: Anything under 1,500 ft^3. Medium room: Anything from 1,500 ft^3 to 3,000 ft^3. Large room: Anything over 3,000 ft^3.
How do you find out what size my car speakers are?
Use a ruler or a tape measure to take your measurements in inches for the speaker. Set your speaker upright so the widest part of the cone is face-up. Take your measurement at the widest point of the speaker from one edge of the mounting frame to the other. Write down the measurement so you don’t forget it later on.
How large should rear surround speakers be?
For 5.1 and 7.1 systems, the surrounds should be from ear level to 1 or 2 feet above. For a Dolby Atmos system, Dolby recommends that you have the standard surround speakers at ear level (listener level) – and the Dolby Atmos overhead speakers at two to three times the height of the listener level speakers.
Should surround speakers be same size as front?
No. You do not need to have matching size surrounds in a setup. You want the majority of your budget to focus on your left, right, and center main channels and your subwoofer. While it is often recommended to timbre match your surrounds with your mains, I don’t find this to be a hard requirement.

Are smaller rooms better for acoustics?
There is a much smaller time window to deal with in small room acoustics than with a large room since our distances from the wall (reflection) are longer thus taking longer in time to reach our ears. Reflections from large room walls and ceilings, all add up to increased reverberation times.
What size hole do I cut for a 6.5 speaker?
5” hole
Most 6.5” round speakers have 5” hole opening. If you are installing these in a new place – meaning no hole yet – use a 5” hole saw. If you are replacing old 6.5” speakers these will work fine.
