Just wondering is anyone actually makes one of these, or do I need to get creative?


I have an unusual situation where I need a rectangular in ceiling DVC.

They have adapters to make the round in-ceilings into square, if you need square instead of rectangular.

I know nothing about that speaker other than what is found in that link, but apparently it does exist.

That said, if square works for you Triad has a few options that would work.

The Sonance VP66 SST/SUR would do the trick. But damn, that's a lot of coin for a speaker going into a hallway bathroom.


Thinking I'll just get a low bucks, round DVC and transplant it into one of the old, low bucks, NXG rectangular speaker housings.

All Russound frameless models can have optional square grilles substituted.

Niles also offers square grills, I think sold separately.

Look for a narrow bezel, classier finish.

You could alternatively up size to a round 8" DVC; google says BA has one.

I appreciate all the replies. I really do.

But....

I have a rectangular hole to cover, not a square one, nor a rectangular one that could be covered by a large round speaker. That's why I asked about a rectangular DVC speaker.

Good replies cited the Nuvo, and the better Sonance.


The other replies make me wonder how much some of you are drinking. ;-)

Dude, squares are rectangles. If you have to cover a 14 x 8 rectangle, a 14 x 14 square will do it! A 20 x 20 square will, too.

That said, how about dimensions? Someone who spends time looking up a perfectly good 6 x 10 rectangle that's too small for you will be wasting their time, too.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

This is something new to me.

I gather the triangles are rectangles as well? Ovals too?


More useless input from Ernie.

Ernie's right; squares are rectangles.

I don't think it's useless to ask a guy to provide enough information for you and the rest of us to spend our time trying to help. Without knowing the sizes, help is not easy, though one of us might just land on the right answer.

You think it's useless to realize that a square is a rectangle? I showed in a previous answer that a rectangular hole can be covered by a square. It's not an answer you like, but the lack of info in the problem as stated completely allows it as an answer.

A rectangle:
*a four-sided figure
*four 90 degree inside angles
*sides opposite one another are equal in length.
If you imagine a rectangle and name the sides as you travel around the square as A, B, C, and D; then for a rectangle A = C and B = D.

A square is a special case of a rectangle, so A = C and B= D but in a square A = B = C = D. There are four sides, the internal angles are all 90 degrees, and ALL FOUR sides are the same length.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Not really a strong point of contention.

Quadrilaterals are shapes with four sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral where the opposite sides are same length, and run parallel. Opposite angles are also the same. A rombus is a parallelogram where all sides are the same length. Rectangles are parallelograms where all the angles are the same (which makes them all 90 degrees). Squares are rectangles where all the sides are the same length.
