About the Crestron ULTIMATE ICS8

An 8 in. (203 mm) carbon fibre woofer with a custom 2nd order low-pass filter at 150 Hz gives a response of 45 Hz to 150 Hz (±3 dB) and a range of 35 Hz to 175 Hz (±10 dB). Power handling is 200 W programme and 400 W peak, with 86 dB sensitivity at 8 ohms nominal.

The subwoofer is IP66 rated for particles and water, and Crestron lists it as suited to marine applications. It has a fibre reinforced polypropylene baffle and a paintable, electroplated and powder coated steel grille with a magnetically held bezel, and it operates from -15.5° to 80°C. Wiring connects to a detachable 2-pin terminal block (5.08 mm pitch, 10 A) taking up to 12 AWG.

It fixes with a twist and lock toolless bayonet system, designed to minimise interference with other elements in the ceiling space. The recommended cutout is 222 mm (8.75 in.), the subwoofer is 244 mm across without the grille (259 mm round grille), and depth is 120 mm without the bayonet ring or up to 134 mm with it. It weighs 2.26 kg and is covered under the Crestron standard limited warranty.
