Description
The OSD Audio ICE600WRS is a 6.5 inch weather resistant in-ceiling speaker pair built for high moisture areas indoors and out. Install them in bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens, or under outdoor eaves, covered patios and porches.
Each speaker uses a 6.5 inch polypropylene cone woofer with a Santoprene surround that resists heat, cold and humidity without hardening or cracking. A 1 inch pivoting polycarbonate dome tweeter can be aimed toward your listening area for clearer highs, and the rust-resistant aluminum grille is made for wet applications.
With 150 watts of power handling, 90 dB sensitivity and 8 ohm impedance, the ICE600WRS works with most stereo amplifiers, AV receivers and whole home audio systems, delivering full sound from 48Hz to 20kHz.
Built-in dog ear clamps grip the drywall as you tighten the screws, so no mounting brackets are needed for retrofit installs. The grille can be spray painted to match your ceiling. For best results, use CL3 or FT4 rated in-wall speaker wire, 16 gauge up to 100 feet and 14 gauge for longer runs. These are passive speakers and require an amplifier or receiver.
Check the Fit
Needs a 7.95 inch cutout and 4.33 inches of clearance above the ceiling; paintable grille is 9.06 inches across. Replacing speakers? Measure the old hole first. Dog ear clamps, no brackets needed. Sold as pair (2 speakers)

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.

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.

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?

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.

Do you have these in stock? I need 14 speakers for a yoga studio. Six of them will be in a hot yoga room with 100% humidity, 110 heat. Do I need a bracket for these? All the others will be in a gyp board clg...regular type environment.Do I need a bracket for these?
Thank you

Hi Rafael--Yes, we have enough in stock to cover your needs. The ICE600WRS would be an excellent choice and is treated specifically for environments like you describe. If you're still concerned, you can coat the speaker with clear coat (spray can only) which is available at any local hardware store. New construction brackets are typically used when the studs or joists are exposed before mounting the sheet rock or ceiling tiles. The two advantages of using brackets are: 1) determining exact placement of the speaker while providing a template to cut the mounting hole; and 2) to provide additional support. All of our speakers feature a retrofit mounting system so they can be installed without the new construction bracket. If you decide to use a bracket, the model number is NCCB6 which is in stock. Hope this helps. Namaste!

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.
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
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.
