Features and Specifications: Sold in pairs, the ICE850 in-ceiling speakers are one of our most popular models because these ceiling speakers offer high-caliber sound without the high caliber price tag. With a power handling of 175 Watts, the ICE850s are an ideal choice for both whole house audio and home theaters and are well suited for larger spaces due to the 8" Kevlar woofer's ability to produce powerful but smooth bass tones. Kevlar woofers retain their shape even at very high energy levels which means you can turn up the volume and experience spine-tingling sound without distortion or coloration. A sophisticated crossover network provides an exceptional blend of low and top-end frequency response while front-mounted contour switches allow you to tailor the sound to your room's acoustics.
Pivoting Aluminum Dome Tweeter
The job of the tweeter is to deliver the higher frequencies of music and soundtracks. Tweeters can be made of many different materials. The ICE850 use an aluminum dome tweeter which is highly accurate sounding on high notes. 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.
Audiophiles Love Kevlar Woofers
Kevlar is a super strong material known for its ability to produce powerful but very smooth bass tones. Kevlar woofer cones retain their shape even at very high energy levels, which means you can crank up the volume and experience spine-tingling sound without distortion or coloration.
For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.

Questions and Answers:  By Mark from Louisianna on November 27, 2011 If I buy this pair , do I still need a subwoofer ??? By Customer Service - Q&A on November 27, 2011Answer:Hi Mark:
These have excellent Frequency Response going all the way down to 26 Hz. Eight inch in-ceiling speakers typically have more bass due to the larger cone area of the 8" woofer. But it depends on your application. If these are for two channel stereo sound with a full range signal then they should have plenty of Bass. If you are using them in a Home Theater 5.1 or 7.1 setup they will be limited by the frequncy output of the Audio Video Receiver and will definetly need a subwoofer.

Great option for 5.1 / 7.1 in ceiling
September 9, 2012
I have installed many pairs of these speakers. They are
great sounding option when you're not looking to spend $300.00 per
speaker. Or not looking for very finite quality. Used in 5.1
systems mostly. The movable tweeter and fixed tilt are perfect for
most surround installs.
Pros:Full Sounding Good Output, Good Value Lower Priced, Great Sound Quality, Good Power Output, Attractive Design
Cons:Grills Hard Put In

I have a theater room in ...
August 13, 2010
I have a theater room in my basement and recently
replaced my center speaker with a Klipsch R-5800W a $400 speaker
that I happen to have. I then searched for 4 round ceiling speakers
to replace the 6 1/2" speakers already installed. I called OSD and
the tech advised me to match the 8" center speaker so I did with
four of these speakers. OH MY GOD!! Talk about a sound so clear and
loud that it could drive you out of the room. It matched the
Klipsch perfectly. So I got 4 speakers for the price of one
Klipsch. OSD is the best. So glad I found the web site. The price
they list is for 2 speakers which make a pair. I almost didn't buy
them because I thought the price was for one speaker in a pair.
Other than that its a perfect transaction with this company. Buy
them and you will be pleasantly surprised.

February 2, 2009
The website is extremely user-friendly. As a
non-technical shopper, I still felt like I could understand the
difference between products and when comparing them to other
websites, it was clear that the value was greater for the price.
The ordering process was very easy and I was contacted almost
immediately about a shipping question that I had -- and it was
resolved over the phone without issue. The service was outstanding
and my shipment arrived quickly as well. I would highly recommend
this merchant.

December 1, 2008
Boys and girls I would like to post a comment on these
speakers but first I'd like everyone to know what
I'm comparing these to. My wife and I just built a 5k
square foot house and I ordered speakercraft AIM 7 two(s) and
four(s) for the whole house with the exception of our master
bedroom and our workout room. I was going to buy something nice for
these two rooms. I have Speakercrafts everywhere including AIM
cinema 5's, wide 5's, and LCR 5's in my
theater room. So I spent some HUGE money to get good sound. On whim
I decided to give these a try after reading some reviews on
AVSforums. I got these installed on my speakercraft mzc-88 8 zone
receiver and MAN I'm IMPRESSED. I should have saved a few
thousand dollars throughout the house and went with these
everywhere!!! The sound is MUCH richer than the sound from the
speakercraft's IMO. You will not go wrong with these
speakers....If you don't like them I'd like to
know what you believe is better.... I also got some AP850 outdoor
speakers WOW...Again, glad I didn't spend the $$$ on
speakercraft as I have heard a friends and mine BLOW his out of the
H20 ;0).

November 13, 2008
I just installed mine, one speaker toward each corner of
my front room's ceiling. I am more than impressed,
it's an outstanding sound-field and I wish I'd
done it sooner. I sold my old Bose 601 series III speakers today.
My front room is filled with crisp highs, deep/rich lows, and
I'm very happy. The install was easy with one suggestion.
Buy a roto-zip drwyall tool (70 bucks) for the speakers holes and
flat panel wire hookup behind the stero equipment. Again,
I'm VERY IMPRESSED with this sound system.
Thanks

I live in Sydney, ...
September 22, 2008
I live in Sydney, Australia in a beachfront apartment. I
needed a pair of outdoor salt proof balcony speakers and an inside
pair for my Living Room. I browsed every website I could find
searching for stereo speakers with a decent frequency response
range that would negate the need for a subwoofer. I had a hard time
finding any until I found the Outdoor Speaker Depot. The
ICE850Ís with their flush ceiling mount and the AP650Ís
with their all weather design seemed to fit the bill and were
excellent value for money. IÍm glad I put my fears of an
international purchase aside because they sound great. I put the
AP650Ís side by side against my $2500 KEF speakers and they
sound better than the KEF!!! Warmer, richer, smoother. About four
days after I had placed my order I decided to go on-line and track
their whereabouts via USPS when I heard a knock on the door and
guess what, it was my new speakers! So, no problems with delivery.
Wiring them up to the SVC 100 and SVC 300 Volume controls was a
breeze too. Customer service was excellent _ they answered all my
questions over the email. I can highly recommend the Outdoor
Speaker Factory, in fact I already have and I wonÍt hesitate
to use them in the future. Simon.
