8" 150W Weather Resistant Outdoor In-Ceiling Speaker w/ Built-in Crossover,

SKU: ICE840WRS

This 8-inch in-ceiling, weather-resistant speaker pair is great for high-humidity areas, including outdoor
patios, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Great for covered porches patios! With high power handling and
an 8-inch polypropylene woofer in each, these speakers deliver superior sound that covers large spaces.
With swivel tweeter adjustment, you can easily create sweet spot for your listening area. Better
crossover, tweeter and woofer materials add sound quality. The aluminum grill cover is rust-resistant for
wet application.These weather-resistant indoor/ outdoor in-ceiling speakers work well with a CL3 in-
wall rated speaker wire, which is designed to run inside walls.

Pivoting Titanium Dome Tweeter

The job of the tweeter is to deliver the higher frequencies of music and soundtracks. The tweeter is also
adjustable, meaning it can be aimed toward the listening area. This can make a big difference in sound
quality especially for dialog and higher frequencies.

How Does this Speaker Mount in the Ceiling?

Customers often ask us if they need special installation mounting brackets on their OSD ceiling
speakers. The answer is no and here’s why. All our in-ceiling speakers feature a dog leg (L-shaped)
mounting system that is part of the frame. Before you install the speakers, remove the grille and you’ll
see several the mounting screws near the front frame. These screws need to be loosened to activate the
dog leg clamps. Use a screwdriver to loosen (turn to the left) these screws and the clamp will come
 loose. When the speaker is in position in the ceiling, tighten (turn to the right) the screw and the speaker
will be secured to the ceiling.

What Type of Speaker Wire and What Gauge?

Wiring is not included with in-ceiling speakers so you will have to purchase some. We recommend
our OSD Audio CL3/FT4 cable that is UL (fire) rated for in-wall and outdoor speaker installs. This type
of cable includes a heavy-duty outer jacket approved for in-wall/in-ceiling installation. The high-quality
plastic jacket is also very flexible so it's easy to run the wires inside the wall. As for the gauge, for runs
up to 100 feet for background music, 16-gauge will be fine. If the run is approaching or exceeding 100
feet, we suggest 14-gauge wire.

Testing the Sound Quality of In-Ceiling Speakers

Many customers like to test the sound quality of their new OSD Audio in-ceiling speakers before they
install them. Keep in mind, however, that these flush-mount speakers are designed to be used in the wall
or ceiling. Uninstalled in-wall/in-ceiling speakers will sound weak and tinny because without the proper
enclosure (in this case your house wall) the speaker can’t produce the sound pressure level it needs. If
you want to try them out, we recommend mounting the in-ceiling speakers into a box of about 3 cubic ft.
or larger; or simply mount them in the ceiling and then listen. This will give you an accurate measure of
the sound quality.

For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.
