IX810: Recessed Backbox

Acoustic enclosure made to direct-mount an 8 in. speaker, which allows a heavier speaker to be used with a non-loadbearing torsion grille. The larger-than-average volume and acoustic treatment allow an 8 in. speaker to operate at optimum levels for improved low frequency response. Ideal for new construction projects in commercial, institutional, or residential applications.
