I am interested in buying the new 6-LCR in wall speakers for a dedicated home theater in the basement of a new house. I will be building the walls myself, and I am just wondering how to get the best sound from the new Aperion in-walls. Should I place insulation behind them? Should I box them in the wall with plywood behind the speakers? Or, were the speakers designed for a certain type of installation? Thanks.

Hello Caleb and welcome to the forum!
The 6-LCRs, like the 6-IW, are what we call an open baffle design and are not intended to have anything behind them. I don't recommend constructing a box as it can introduce buzzing from the vibrations of the speaker, but if you would like to place insulation behind the speaker in can beef up the bass response a bit and even if it doesn't it should not compromise its performance.
I hope that helps but please let us know if you have any other questions, thanks!
