Weatherproof in-Ceiling Audio Speaker Pair - Indoor/Outdoor Stereo - ICE800WRS

I paired these with an inexpensive amplifier and they are great. I am glad I went with the 8 inch speakers, as their bass response is much nicer sounding than I was expecting. The only 'negative' I have is that their mounting mechanism could use a bit of work. My ceiling here is not drywall, it's harder and thinner than drywall and the mounting mechanism does not seem to have been made with ceiling this thin in mind. They still work and are mounted up there, there is just a little bit more give than I think is expected.

I ordered the speaker to replace a clients speaker that had failed (different brand). This speaker was the same size, however I had to cut the hole slightly larger to fit the new speaker. Other than having to adjust the hole size, it was an easy install. The sound quality is decent - it's basically what I expected at this price point. I've owned in-wall Definitive Technologies speakers which are absolutely amazing. If you just need a decent speaker to listen to music at a moderate volume, these are great. If you want something that can handle lots of power, and sound amazing - look into DefTech

One of the grilles was dented badly upon receipt. Packaging was extremely poor, lacking sufficient support. I rolled the grille with a small plastic roller which improved its visual quality, though it's still dented. As for the quality of the speakers, they are extremely light weight, especially the magnet. I expected a more weighty device. Nonetheless, the sound quality is impressive. The mid range is a bit overly pronounced, but easily adjusted with an equalizer. We'll see how they stand up to the winter...

I have now purchased over 14 speakers from OSD Audio. Some direct from store, this last pair was through their Amazon Store. Same quality product, and fast, free shipping. OSD Audio is my go-to store for audio equipment.

Perfect install - had to replace 25 year old Elan speakers and just had to make minor opening adjustments in the ceiling and they sound awesome!!

I was a little hesitant with these outdoor/wet rated speakers at first, while testing them on the bench. They just didn't sound all that good. The mid and higher ranges were there, but the bass was fairly lacking. Thankfully after installing in the ceiling, the space behind added to the bass and the sound was improved. Overall the build quality seems good, I appreciate that the cones don't have tweeter wires coming though them, like many speakers do. The tabs for holding the speakers in are a little finicky, especially if you are uninstalling them to make a change, but they do work and I'm happy with the design overall. I am quite disappointed in the power handling however. Using a 20 watt amplifier I am able to cause distortion with the speakers, which is VERY far from their advertised 150 watt handling. So a big let down there. Frankly I'm tired of speaker companies/re-branders claiming significant power handling which isn't remotely true. So on that mark, OSD fails miserably and need to fix this falsification. So if you can live with 15 watts of reliable power handling without distortion, then these may fit the bill. Overpriced for what they can actually do, thus 3 stars.

1. They sound pretty good. 2. Installation was simple. 3. They look very good. I put these in a vaulted ceiling in a bathroom. I tested these before installing with them propped up in chairs and they sounded GREAT. After install, they didn't sound quite as good but still perform very well. I blame the room characteristics for drop in sound quality after install. They seem to have lost some of the high end and are a bit heavy in the mid's. I put a bucket over the back of each one to keep the blown in insulation out of the speakers and to see if it would somehow send the missing treble back in to the room and not in the attic. You would think that would make them produce more bass but whatever its doing it made a big difference.

I installed these in my Patio, They have great sound output. I turned the volume up and there was no distortion. I bought two more pairs, one for the dinning room and one for my Boat. Yes, they are that good. I have speakers in my living room, and I am thinking I might replace them as well, but one project at a time. I looked at several other speakers, they all look to be about the same price but people were not satisfied with the sound output of them. These had higher reviews and some said the sound quality was good and now I see why, they sound great. They shipped them out quickly. Only complaint I would register is that the template they give us is easily torn (only one for the set) as mine did on the patio, so I used the face-plate grill, just unsnap it, trace the outline of it and it was the perfect size. The grill went back on without issues. Great value for the price.

Insatalled two ICE800TTWRSs in my back deck ceiling a month ago. Matched them with a Moukey MAMP1 amplifier. I wasn't expecting the bi-amp version of the speakers as the amp only has two outputs so I bi-wired the speakers. Man they sound good. Plenty loud. Clarity is very good and the bass is in your face. Not audiophile but better than expected and perfect for the application. I imagine bi-amping would only improve the sound. Hopefully they last. Oh, and I painted them black.

Excellent sound quality, easy install, great value for money.

I've purchased several items from OSD and have never been disappointed. I installed this speaker in the ceiling outside my shower and it sounds amazing. You cannot beat this price.

Stay away. Purchased it 2 years ago. Only installed about a year ago. Protected from all elements and the rubber on cone is completely gone. Crap product and warranty is non exsistant you have to pay for all shipping so for such a poor quality it's not worth Hassel. Definitely do not recommend for outside use. Inside I can't verify yet

Sounds really good, Easy to install. 2 months in and no problems in our bathroom ceiling. Would recommend!
