Features and Specifications: Relax in the tub and enjoy beautiful sound with these water-resistant 6½"in-ceiling speakers! With 120W power handling, these in-ceiling speakers are built to withstand high humidity areas such as bathrooms, laundry rooms or spas. Sold in pairs, the ICE600 weather-resistant speakers are also great for covered porches and patios!
Should I Purchase special cable for in-ceiling speakers?
Wiring is not included with in-ceiling speakers so you will have to purchase some. While wiring requirements will depend on your local building codes, OSD Audio offers CL3/FT4 cable that is UL (fire) rated for all residential and most commercial in-wall and in-ceiling applications. (The exception is you cannot run this cable in heating or cooling ducts in commercial applications.) This 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.
For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.

Questions and Answers:  By Trey from Houston, TX on September 19, 2012 I am looking at using 3 pairs of these speakers for a multi-room set up (outdoor patio, bathroom, dining room). Everything is pre-wired (including volume controls for each area). Can you recommend which volume controls, speaker selector, and amplifier I would need to be able to run all 3 zones (possibly a 4th in the future) at the same time. I would also like the option of turning various zones off and on. By Customer Service - Q&A on September 19, 2012Answer:Hi Trey,
Our AMP200 would do the trick and is perfect for 4 zones. We suggest using it with the DSM4 speaker selector and the SVC300 for volume controls. Thanks for your interest in OSD AUDIO.
CL/MA 1298By Brian from Edgewater Fl. on September 23, 2012 Hello and thank you in advance for the help.
I am going to purchase these speakers ( ICE600WRS ) for a porch ceiling were working on now. I clicked on the owners manual for hole cut out size and found every application but the ICE600 listed.
Could you tell me which cut out to use as we are installing the ceiling and I would like to cut the correct size prior to installing the ceiling. Thanks again , Brian PS. I used your company for other projects and your great. By Customer Service - Q&A on September 25, 2012Answer:Hi Brian:
We list cutout in bullet points on the ICE600WRS product page,
Cut out: 7 5/8"
TLBy Maureen from Richmond, Texas on March 14, 2012 I want to buy 2 pair of speakers for my outdoor patio. We have a wood celing that we will mount the speakers to.
Do I need any thing else with thepurchase of the ICE 600wrs weather rest 6 1/2 " speakers. We already have the speaker wires run in the celing. Do I need the back box? I am replacing older speakers. We did not have a back box attached to the older speakers. By Customer Service - Q&A on March 14, 2012Answer:Maureen,
You can install the speaker without a back box. Some customers do add one though to improve the sound pressure level .
CLBy Trey from Houston, TX on October 8, 2012 I am looking to set up a 4 zone system, with the AMP200 and DSM4 speaker selector. Is it OK to have volume controls on 3 of the zones but not on the 4th? The 4th zone does not have a good place to wire volume control so I would like to leave it out if possible. By Customer Service - Q&A on October 8, 2012Answer:Hi Trey,
It is better to have volume controls for each zone, so our suggestion for your fourth zone is connect that pair to the speaker B output on the Amp200 rather than zone 4 on the speaker selector.
CL 1324By James from Tomball,Texas on July 9, 2012 I am currently building a covered back porch on my house and would like to know if the ICE600WRS speakers would work for my application. I am going to have 3 listening areas on the porch, each controlled by its own volume control (SVC300?). 1st area is a 12’x30’ covered screened area with a TV and would include 2 pairs (total of 4 speakers) of the ICE600WRS and would like to listen to the TV or music on these speakers, 2nd area is a 12’x45’ unscreened covered area that would include 2 pairs (total of 4 speakers) of the ICE600WRS, and the 3rd area would be the yard and pool outside of the porch and I would install a pair of AP640 (total 2 speakers) facing out under the eave. Is this enough speakers, should I go with the 8” or the stereo speaker such as the ICE600TTWRS? Would I need a switch box like the ISS4 and an AMP like the AMP200? I attached a sketch of the porch layout to help understand my layout. By Customer Service - Q&A on July 11, 2012Answer:Hi James:
would configure your system as follows:
Amplifier: AMP200 connected to the DSM4 speaker selector. You will be driving three possibly all four zones. The DSM4 would be connected to (2) SVC300 Impedance-matching volume controls located in the in the smaller screened-in porch in the wall near the door. One would drive 2 pair of ICE600WRS in the 12 x 30 foot room. A second SVC300 would be connected to 2 pair of ICE800WRS for the 12 x 45 foot room. A third Volume Control (the OVC300, outdoor VC) would be mounted outside at the stairs and would connect to 2 pair of AP650. The wire connection from the AMP to the Speaker Selector to the Volume Controls would be done with CL3 14/4 speaker cable (14-gauge 4-conductor, in a single jacket), then 14/2 from the Volume Controls to the each individual speaker. In all three areas, you can run a single 14/2 to the closest right and left speaker of the two pair. You can then run another 14/2 from the input of the first pair of speakers out to the second pair to the second designated pair in each zone. Each volume control has an impedance-matching setting which should be set at a minimum 4x since you will be driving this with an AMP200—a true High Current amplifier. I can send you a basic diagram to your email that is listed under a separate email. There are some ideas I can discuss with you regarding your sources as well. I hope that helps.

By JAN from windsor, co. on July 13, 2012 we are looking at these speakers for our covered patio. do they withstand cold temperatures or should they be taken down during the winter months? are they temperature rated at all? By Customer Service - Q&A on July 16, 2012Answer:Hi jan:
You should have no problem mounting this permanently in an enclosed Patio. It would not be necessary to take them out during the winter.

ClBy Rick from Corpus Christi, Tx on November 23, 2012 I am replacing four in wall speakers after 16 years. the cut out hole is 8 X 51/2. They will function and the front and rear surround speakers. I have an old JBL center speaker that works fine. Do you have any recommendations.
Thanks
Rick By Customer Service - Q&A on November 25, 2012Answer:Hi Rick:
Your cutout hole would tell us that you are replacing 5.25" In-Wall Speakers. Our best 5.25" In-Wall would be the IW540 but the Cut-Out Diameter is 9 5/8" x 6 1/8". It would help to know the JBL center Channel model number so I can see the specifications. Is it a Dual 5.25" with a 1" Tweeter; what is the cone material used for both the woofer and Tweeter? That will also help to pick out the best timbre matched speakers to compliment the JBL Center. Also do you have the ability to enlarge the hole size to accommodate a 6.5 inch 2 way typically with a Cutout of 7 5/8" x 10 13/16". You have more choices in 6.5" and matches better to a Dual 5.25" Center (if that is what your JBL speaker is). Please let us know what you think.
TL #1409By Mike from San Antonio, TX on February 6, 2012 I am looking for some "outdoor" speakers for my covered patio. I am planning on mounting these in the hardy plank (1/2" or 5/8" thick, I believe) wall that was created when the cover was installed. Behind it is the old roof, it that helps you imagine how these will be installed. See attached picture. Do I need anything else to mount these? Is this a good application? Should I installed these in the eaves instead? Patio is approximately 12 feet deep by 30 feet long. Planning on running these off of my home receiver. By Customer Service - Q&A on February 6, 2012Answer:Hi Mike,
Based on your photo, I believe a patio speaker would be a better option. In fact, I would suggest two of our AP550TT Dual Voice Coil stereo speakers connected through our OVC300 outdoor volume control. Because this is a stereo speaker with two tweeters, it provides more music coverage (to your large area) with no concern for right and left separation. You can easily mount them 12 to 15 feet apart with the included bracket. The volume control matches the two speakers to your receiver and allows you to control the volume while in the patio. You can connect these to either the A or B speaker output from your receiver. You will need to use our 16 gauge 4-conductor CL3 rated cable. A patio speaker features a tuned enclosure specific to the drivers utilized. The in-ceiling speaker is subject to the area it is mounted in and the enclosure behind it, which (based on the image you sent) could vary greatly.
TLBy dwayne from virginia on June 18, 2012 have an existing hole that is a 9 inch cut out. can I make these speakers work in that hole.
Thanks By Customer Service - Q&A on June 18, 2012Answer:Hi Dwayne,
Look at the ICE800WRS. This features a cut-out hole of 9.25", which means increasing your current hole size slightly, then it should pop right in. If you are looking to fill just a single hole then you would want to use our ICE800TTWRS. The ICE800WRS is packaged as a stereo pair; the ICE800TTWRS is packaged as a single speaker. You should also enjoy more bass response from the 8” cone of the ICE800WRS versus the 6.5" cone of the ICE600WRS.

Holding up in the Bahamas!
July 3, 2012
We have these speakers installed under the eaves of our
house on Cat Island. I was worried about the housing holding up
under those conditions, the island was hit hard by Irene, but they
still look and sound great! We are building another house, and
these are a MUST HAVE. Our house is right on the beach, but you can
really only hear them from the water when right in front of the
house. It's pretty nice to listen to music while floating in the
sea. I will admit that we turn it up loud when no one is around,
but as another reviewer said, the speakers point down, so there is
not much sound trickiling over to the neighbor. The sound quality
holds up great, even when turned up, no static or rattling. We LOVE
em!

Tremendously great sound quality!
March 17, 2012
I found OSD when searching for speakers to have mounted
to a new pavillion roof structure built above my new paver patio.
WOW! These have such great sound quality that my contractor says he
is buying two sets for his porch. I live close up to other
properties and since the speakers are mounted and facing down, the
awesome sound doesn't seem to carry and bother the neighbors yet!
That may change when my son inches up the volume when I'm not
around. I usually don't have time to write reviews, but had to take
the time to express how pleased I am.

March 14, 2010
Installed two pairs of these outside. One pair under my
patio and one in the eaves closer to the pool. The sound is
amazing. Connected them with individual in-wall controllers, also
bought here, so it can be louder out by the pool and not blaring
under the patio. Since these are in-ceiling, they fire downward and
the sound is retained in my yard which keeps the neighbors happy
even when the sound is turned up.
