In-wall speaker questions. (1 Viewer)

Im not in the market for in-wall speakers (not in wall subwoofers), but there are questions I have about them so I may consider them for future upgrades.

When mounted, most don't have backs to them right? meaning the sound travels throughout the wall cavity possibly being heard on the other side? Could you purchase backs for them to isolate the sound and prevent the sound from traveling in the wall? would this affect the sound quality? What is a typical in-wall setup consist of?

It depends on the design but some do offer backs for their in-walls. You're basically making the drivers see a much smaller 'box' though so i'm sure sound quality changes esp. if its not designed with a backing
