    I plan on putting in a 5.1 system in the new house which will be getting chased for wires next week.

    I would like the two rear speakers of the system to be "in wall".

    Just wondering can I go and get two in wall speakers to replace the two existing speakers in the 5.1 system and leave the rest of the system as is?

    Are there other considerations like wattage etc that have to be inline with the current system.

    Also, as a side question. How much should I expect to be paying for these in wall speakers and is there much hassle involved in chasing out the wall for them?

    Thanks.

    As long as the speakers are the same impedence (4omh or 8ohm usually) and are sufficiently capable in terms of power handling you should be fine. In general, rear speakers in a 5.1 setup are less important than the front three, which usually carry most of the sound.

    I'll be sure to double check that info before I buy anything.

    Thanks again.
