Are these boards paintable? And are they tough enough to be used on a 8ft x 10ft wall as acoustic panel to reduce noise in adjacent room? I'm assuming they only come in the color white?

Yes, they are paintable with water based paint. They can be used as an acoustical barrier and white is the only color.

They are light gray, but can be spray painted another color. You want to be sure that instructions and accessories are included with shipment. You will need to buy and cut the boards to fit.

We didn't have much luck covering the wall. This works great for filling cracks around doors and windows. We were trying to insulate the entire wall system in a 10x20 shed. It would probably reduce the noise but to get the foam to fill the area you are trying to fill may take a couple of bottles. I know for our project it would've taken several bottles. We couldn't get it to spray in layers....it sprayed in streams. The foam expanded and filled cracks and small voids wonderfully. It should reduce sound tho' for sure.

Another plus is they are paintable, nearly invisible, and if you place them over a door, its cool the effect it gives when you cross the threshold. I ended up using these particular ones in the ceiling and outside for mulit-room sound. But these are more compact than the square version. Polks are excellent.

yes i believe they can be painted, however there is nothing in the instructions regarding paint. sorry i could not be more helpful

These speakers aren't good candidates for wall mounting. Besides not having a wall mount bracket, they are also ported on the back. Ideally, the speakers would be placed at least 12 inches away from a wall for better sound.

Hi Chad. Yes. I'd put them on opposing walls and on as many surfaces as I can. The idea behind this foam isn't sound attenuation its sound treatment. You want to reduce or eliminate as much sound wave bounce or natural echo as you can. I hope that was helpful. Good luck on your build.

these speakers are specifically designed for wall installation. speakers for ceiling are different by design and installation. therefore, i do not suggest

I have only had them on for about 8(ish) months but they peel off just fine. The walls that they are stuck on was just painted a year and a half ago and when repositioning I haven't seen any damage the walls what so ever. The adhesive is very passive - enough to stick on the wall but not *too* sticky. However, I'd have to get back to you on the "several years" part - maybe someone else will pipe up?

Yes--they would work very well. You could divide a wall with a row of them or make a square as a wall accent. I used the blue tacky stuff (3M brand) to attach them to the wall. That way they can be removed without damaging the wall (I suppose dorm rooms have brick walls anyway). The record labels come in a variety of colors that break up the black vinyl. The records I received were mostly thin vinyl (mostly bands/artists from the 1970s) with a few good ones (Pink Floyd) mixed in. Cheap and cute decorating idea! Good luck!

Yes. You'll be fine so long as you don't try to throw the whole output at them. Keep in mind that these are rear ported, so they should be left at least several inches off the wall for them to sound their best. If you plan to hang them right on the wall, then you should go with sealed cabinet or front ported speakers.

Yep, very easily paintable and can be cut with hacksaw to any length fairly easily. They are made of pretty durable, yet soft plastic... I would recommend dry fitting, cutting to length, fit wires, apply to wall, then paint. They've been on the walls about 6 months now, and the adhesive tape has finally given way. A little more double sided, thicker tape, ought to do the trick.

the white pair is white... and by the way... these speakers are not FILLED all the way with water That would be too heavy and dangerous to ship. ... the clear section is air...and there is a little water in the lower section that shoots up thru holes and colored lights..they are cool....

I would not consider this material to be sound proofing in any significant way. It is realatively thin paperboard (like a semi-smooth, rigid, paper mache) and does not have the thickness, nor open pore design, to be sound deadening.

We've owned these speakers for about 4 months now, and they are great! We have a good receiver hooked up to them and even though we have a smaller room than you mentioned, it still makes the walls rumble when you want it to! I would recommend these speakers; they have been a great quality buy. Hopefully you can get them at a good price like we did.

I am sorry that I may not have a perfect answer about wall mounting these speakers but I would suggest contact JBL. I would be sure about mounting these little guys since they are quite heavy. I hope you are able to achieve mounting these speaker. I have had mine for a while now and they are excellent speakers with wonderful sound quality. Goo luck
