What drivers does the THX-5002-S use?

It features dual 1" titanium tweeters paired with dual 5.25" Cerametallic woofers for detailed highs, impactful midbass, and consistent low-frequency performance.

How does it create a more immersive surround field from the ceiling?

The design emphasizes wide, room-filling dispersion to produce enveloping surround effects while still keeping key sounds and movement cues easy to place in the soundstage.

It uses a bass-reflex design with a tuned port and is built for predictable performance in custom-install applications, helping deliver consistent bass response across typical ceiling installations.

What cutout size do I need for installation?

The listed cutout diameter is 13.39", with a hole dimension of approximately Ø13.25", so it’s best to follow the provided install measurements for your specific ceiling build.
