Pyle 8” Ceiling Mount Speakers (Pair)- 300 Watt 2-Way Stereo Speaker System with Easy Install Flush Design - 9 3/8" x 3 1/2" Cut-Out Dimensions, Directional 1” Titanium Dome Tweeter (White)

These were well protected when arrived. I ordered 3 pairs. All parts were included. They were certainly easy to install, like 2 minutes. You will spend more time prepping for the install, for sure. Just remember that the fruits of your labor will be awesomeness!! My ceiling (LUCKILY!!) was pre wired so I just needed to measure, remeasure, and measure again, for good measure and then cut some big holes and there's a template for that. I took some photos because I was, admittedly, dreading cutting such seemingly large holes (9 3/8" for the 8" speaker) all around into my ceiling but eventually my procrastination subsided and I got right down to business. Everything went smooth and the only incident that I had was the grille popped off when I was bumpin the room (BUT it was MY fault---don't forget to put the included putty glue stuff in there like it says in the directions! ;) I had to go back up the ladder for that and probably because I think I know everything so I picture-book the directions just for familiarity.) At any rate, after I completed the directions entirely, these speakers bump. They are awesome no matter what type of music you listen to (I tried tons of kinds, just to be sure) and they are well balanced and perform stereo sound style. It didn't specify but from my past experiences with the materials, I'm nearly 99.97% that you can paint to match and they will keep the paint on. (I will be painting mine to match a tat better, regardless) I definitely recommend these. Pic Tips: Pic1and2: if you stick your phone thru the prewired area and turn your flash on and take a pic, you can kinda see what your doing and where to find studs. (I didn't use a stud finder. Don't forget to give speaker at least 1/2" distance from stud for the locking mechanism, although I didn't have enough room for one of my speakers because the builder or whoever pre wired, cut the square box right next to the stud. Regardless, I was able to strategically turn the speaker just so and it still locked in place just fine. Pic3: again, it is a big hole. Pic4: I recommend using this saw thing, it's cheap and has some teeth but doesn't chew. Pic5: if you see this metal thing, it bends back easily out of the way, and just keep sawing. And Pic6: final result, everything is flush and functioning beyond my expectation.

I put these in my garage. They work great, sounds good, and get the job done.

These are great speakers, the tweeter can be directed after installation or at any time without removal of the metal cover grill. Very powerful speakers that provide excellent sound and finish quality. I purchased the 8" ones and glad I did over the smaller ones. I was worried about appearance, but painting them before installation, made them almost disappear into the ceiling. Never installed these before, here is what I learned in the process: 1). To remove metal cover grill: Sit on couch, invert speaker onto lap, swing locking clips toward center, push top of tab to force off metal cover grill while holding speaker just off your lap. POP! 2. Paint metal cover grill and outer plastic flange before installing. I used a small roller (light paint saturation) to match texture of ceiling. Do two coats. Use a big needle or small tack to clear any paint-filled holes. Once painted, they almost disappear into the ceiling. 3. Make a fist sized hole in the center of where you plan to have your speakers and reach in to confirm that you don't hit any rafters or blocking BEFORE you make your larger cut-out. You may be unpleasantly surprised and may need to shift your location, so don't make the big hole until you are sure all is clear. The clip/locking tabs need clearance all around (about 1/2"). 4. Paper cut-out template provided is a bit undersized (thank you Pyle for making it sturdy cardboard and pre-cut), they probably imagine self-installers are not so careful. Cut it atleast 1/8" bigger all around. 5. To avoid damage to your finished sheetrock during cut-out operation: use a dremel tool to cut thru the paper layer of the sheetrock completely or do multiple passes with a mat knife. Otherwise you risk spalling off large chips of sheetrock which you don't want to patch back. To reseat any chips flaked during agressive sawing, keep elmers glue handy to patch back smaller chips on the finished side as you go. Then drill out a 3/8" or larger hole in center and near edges to insert your sheetrock saw. 6. Most likely you will cut the sheetrock slightly off-vertical on the cut line, so use your saw and go back to straighten the cuts. 7. Carefully wash you hands before final installation of speaker. 8. Test each speaker before installation. **This probably should be item #1. You won't regret doing this work (less than an hour not counting crawling thru the attic), the payoff of these speakers is huge. Verisimilitude confirmed when all our pets completely freaked out by the quality of the surround sound for very low investment. Enjoy.

Got a total of four speakers to install in the ceiling of our garage. For the price, they are excellent and exactly what I was looking for. The low profile and simple design made installation a breeze and the sound quality is very acceptable for my use. I wouldn't recommend them for home theater use but for ambient music they are great.

I've had these speakers for a bit over three years and I must say for the price it was hard to find a better setup. The were attractive and still have very good sound. I have 5 of these speakers ceiling mounted inside and two wall mounted inside as part of my theater system and 2 ceiling mounted in a weather protected outside patio area (Southern California location). Unfortunately, even though the outside speakers do not see weather/sun, their mounting plastic started cracking about a year and a half after install. This was first noticed as the grill fell to the floor. After reinstall this started happening rather routinely every few months. At the latest reinstall, a large chunk of the surround popped off making the speaker unsightly requiring removal. Since I had another in the garage the speaker was replaced, but the plastic mounting/surround that was removed crumbled in my hands as if it had 3 years of direct sun exposure. Because this is what holds the rather heavy speaker in the ceiling this is somewhat of a safety concern. Now I'm worried about speakers randomly falling on my head... I'm not a materials engineer but the plastic the surround is made of is not what I'm used to seeing in my previous quality speakers. As on note the 4 plastic L-shaped clip was not made of the crumbling material...these piece were solid. The only pieces that were crumbly are everything else non metal... Update November 2017 - initially 3 star rating... Two more in my inside ceiling and wall had the telltale initial crack in the visible plastic ring surrounding the grille... As I had an extra speaker, taking them out resulted in complete crumbling os the surround...please see picture... After discussing the above with Pyle customer service they were very apologetic, however one of the managers I talked to seemed incredulous that the above is happening. They promised to send out some plastic surround replacements when they get some in... A month later still nothing arrived. After being tired of looking at big holes in my ceiling and wall I decided to go with another brand altogether as there is no guarantee that if I replaced the rest of my speakers with pyle products the same thing will not happen again. So to summarize...great sounding speakers if you want them to sit on the furniture or floor next to some big holes in your ceiling or wall, or if you don't mind replacing your whole system every few years.

I am pleased with the sound of these speakers in a ceiling installation with 5 speakers on a home theater receiver. I do not have a separate woofer. The sound is fine for a good 3D video experience and for general music with reasonable base, very good mid-range and reasonable treble. The tweeter angle adjustment is much too limited. They require no floor space so that is a major benefit. I may add a satellite woofer someday. I once had Altec's Voice of the Theater speakers and these Pyle units do not come close, but at 1$ of Altec's what can you expect. Installation of 5 ceiling speakers required several hours and generated plaster dust that dispersed everywhere. These speakers require a moderately precise round hole. I used a Dremmel multi-tool with a drywall blade and that worked well. Once the hole is complete, installation is easy. I was concerned about dirt and dust from the attic collecting on the speaker cones since there is no barrier. I enclosed the backs of the speakers with a soft plastic film before installation to avoid dirt on the cone that would cause distortion. The film must be soft and provide the ability for cone movement without causing air pressure on the back of the cone.

Great for in-ceiling surround sound through an old Pioneer receiver @ 8 ohms and 100W peak per channel. Install was a breeze with the provided template, and the locking clips attach to sheet rock (drywall) with no issues. I pump music and TV/movies through these and don't get any audible distortion. Good bass response (for their size) and the directional tweeter is clean as well. Don't need to crank up the volume either, as these speakers provide plenty of sound even at low levels. I got 4 to use as fronts and rears for my 5.1 setup. I do have a subwoofer as well to push low-end bass separately, because 8"woofer cones can't be expected to "thump" like I want it to. Highly recommend based on my 1 week of use!! Update: 2/22/2016...These speakers don't disappoint!! The bass is strong enough to rattle the drywall in my ceiling (house is only 2 years old!!), even with the subwoofer turned off. Maybe it's just frequecy harmonics, but I am impressed. Don't waste money on a product with a fancy name, give these a try. Will be purchasing these again when I upgrade to 7.2 as well as dual-zone applications.

Put these up at my school, connected to my project. Haven’t had them in long, but so far my aid and students all consider them a big upgrade from what we had before. Clean look and good sound for my space. These are passive, so they do need a power source to work, such as an amp or receiver.

Purtroppo dovuto fare il reso. Mi è sfuggito che era senza bluetooth. Nel descrizione erano 17 cm, in realtà quasi 30. Non mi poteva servire a questa misura purtroppo. Non posso valutare il prodotto perché non avevo provato. Arrivato in anticipo e imballaggio integro.

I ordered these to replace some old cheaper speakers that I had fitted only as a temporary measure. These come up a little larger than my old 8" units so I did have to saw the hole in my ceiling a bit more but a template is supplied with these to make that job easier. Once fitted I tested them and the quality of sound is nothing short of terrific, I really wasn't expecting this sound to come from a sub £100 pair of ceiling speakers. I have a crossover set on my AVR at 80hz so I can't say to much for the base below that level however every frequency down to the 80hz is true and clear, the midrange is especially good, I am now hearing tones that were hidden from me on my old speakers. I have set these as my rear surround speakers on my Dolby Atmos 7.1 setup but after hearing these on the rear I am going to be purchasing another 2 sets for the Atmos height speakers again replacing some older cheaper speakers that I fitted some time ago. After testing that everything worked well and that I intended to keep these, I then sprayed the frets black just to match with my others, I think that they look good in black, contrasting against the white of the rim and the tweeter. Very good speakers and great value.

I ordered this for my business. Its is good enough for my 1200 sq ft place. Sound is clear and loud enough for workplace.

Wer in der glücklichen Lage ist, Videos und TV über einen AV Receiver zu übertragen kann heute relativ preiswert bis zu 7.1 Kanäle übertragen. Der Vorteil ist ein geschlossenes Klangbild, das einem Kinosaal immer ähnlicher wird. Vorne drei Lautsprecher (Links, Mitte, Rechts), hinten zwei und - tja oben auch noch zwei, eventuell noch einen Tiefbass-Woofer, aber da wird man manchmal schon an Grenzen stoßen- Egal, wenn man es schafft, die beiden Einbau Lautsprecher in der Decke zu verdrahten, hat man eine tolle Lösung! Die beiden Deckenlautsprecher sind wirklich großartig und füllen eine Klanglücke, die man vorher vielleicht gar nicht als solche empfunden hat - bis einmal ein Hubschrauber von hinten nach vorne ins Bild kommt. ;-) Wie gesagt, geht es weniger um Lautstärke (obwohl die beiden einiges zu bieten hätten) als um ein geschlossenes Klangbild, welches von den beiden Pyle Treibern sehr gut abgedeckt werden. Für Hörer, die lieber echten Raumklang gegenüber hochgerechnetem Digital-Firlefanz bevorzugen.
