distribution (central sound). All models are 2-way speakers
that feature Mica-Fiber woofers and PEI (Polyetherimide)
Mylar tweeters. These speakers come with dual templates
with center markings and paint rings. Optional speaker
pre-construction brackets are available for all models.

from 18 to 14.
