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

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.

Well built and it has great sound, very impressed!👍

Fills the bill.

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 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

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.

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 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.
