In-Ceiling Pair for Distributed Audio

The Earthquake Sound R800 is a pair of eight-inch in-ceiling speakers designed for whole-home audio or home-theatre surround channels. They install flush into a standard ceiling cut-out and are sold as a matched set for stereo or multi-room coverage.

Passive Design With Thermal Protection

Each speaker presents an eight-ohm load and handles up to two-hundred watts maximum power with a ninety-two decibel sensitivity rating. A twelve-decibel-per-octave crossover network includes a polyswitch for thermal tweeter protection during extended listening sessions.

Upgrade From Smaller Ceiling Models

The eight-inch polypropylene woofer and wider surround deliver deeper bass extension down to forty-five hertz compared to six-inch or smaller in-ceiling units. The jump is worthwhile when the listening area demands fuller low-frequency output without adding a separate subwoofer.

Questions about this item

How do I install the R800 speakers and what step is often missed?

Cut a 240 mm hole, insert the speaker, then twist the Turn ‘N’ Lock mechanism until it locks; the step people miss is fully rotating each lock until it clicks, otherwise the speaker can work loose over time.

What part of the R800 will need attention or replacement after extended use?

The 12 dB/octave crossover includes a Polyswitch thermal protector for the 1-inch silk dome tweeter; if the tweeter is overdriven the Polyswitch trips and must be reset or the crossover board replaced to restore high-frequency output.

What limit appears first when the R800 is played loudly for long periods?

The 200 W maximum power handling is the first limit; sustained levels above this will trigger the tweeter’s thermal protection and risk voice-coil damage in the 203 mm polypropylene woofer.
