Monoprice 13683 Alpha Ceiling Speaker 8" Carbon Fiber 2-Way

Features:

• Style: While Monoprice believes in function over form, there is nothing wrong with having speakers that look good, too. This in-ceiling speaker helps reduce clutter by getting your speakers off the floor or bookshelves, and the magnetic metal grille can be painted to match your ceiling, so it virtually disappears from view.
• Simplicity: Installation is as easy as it can get. Use the included cutout template to mark your ceiling, make the cut, then using only a screwdriver, secure the speaker to the ceiling with the easy install mounting tabs.
• 160 watts maximum input power
• 8" carbon fiber woofer with rubber surround
• 1" silk dome tweeter
• 50Hz ~ 20kHz frequency response
• Built-in high frequency attenuator
• Paintable magnetic grille

This carbon fiber in-ceiling speaker is the perfect combination of performance and style. The use of carbon fiber for the woofer means that the speaker can hit harder, go lower, and handle more power with significantly less distortion than conventional drivers. The silk dome tweeter produces clean, crisp, and clear highs and mids. You can fine tune the blend of sound using the built-in high frequency attenuator in case the sound is too bright. The metal grille can be painted to match your ceiling and attaches easily using magnets.

Carbon fiber woofers are lighter and stiffer than conventional materials used in speaker manufacturing. The speaker cones are more sensitive to power, which means that you get more volume using less power. Additionally, the stiffer material means deeper bass and higher power handling, with significantly less distortion.
