The ICE850 is the “Lamborghini” of the in-ceiling speakers. Perfect for high-powered whole house systems and large home theaters, premium technologies such as Kevlar woofers, pivoting aluminum dome tweeters and sophisticated crossovers provide deep bass and exceptional top-end frequency response. Kevlar is the best component for woofers because it responds note for note without coloration and has big cranking power. Contour switches will let you tailor frequency response to your room arrangement.
For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.

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 - John in Melbourne FL
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. - Al S.
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. - Simon
Love my new speakers. Great frequency range and excellent tonal quality. Shipping was fast and easily tracked. I will be dealing with OSD again (as soon my wife let's me!) - AP from Grand Prairie, TX
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). - Ken from Oklahoma City, OK
Arrived and easy to install except for the cover, very snug fit and difficult to install the cover only. The 6 inch speaker covers fit great. Otherwise excellent speaker. - Sean
Great speaker especially for the money. Sound clean and very clear. This was the final piece to replace my old surround sound speakers. - Tom
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. - Todd
Very pleased with product and with this purchase experience in general. I strongly recommend OSD. Thanks, Chris MI - Chris
