Our Best-Selling Surround and Rear In-Wall

The GTL Sound Labs AE653 are our outstanding two way in wall speaker for use in whole house audio and our best selling in-wall for sides and rears in small to medium home theater applications. These speakers will supply you with exceptional sound quality with all kinds of music or movies.

The AE 653 is our longest running in-wall speaker and is still our #1 best-selling speaker. Since conception we have had to make no changes to the design or drivers; when you design the best from the beginning there is no need for change. These have been installed in Home Theaters as rears and surrounds throughout the world. They get rave reviews because of their exceptional sound and clarity. Movies pack a lot of real sounds in the surrounds and rears and you need a speaker that will actually give you all that is there! The AE 653’s performs well in either hidden or display installation while offering outstanding performance and true audio excellence.

Each speaker has a 6 1/2" woven carbon fiber woofer with 1.5" voice coil, 25 oz. vented magnet and butyl rubber surrounds. The woven carbon cone allows the woofer to self-vent and results in dynamic bass response, superb midrange, and excellent thermal boundaries with natural top roll off. The 2 3/4" titanium silk dome tweeter has a 1" voice coil and 3.7 oz. magnet, which provides first class high frequency clarity.
