Product Description
This 2-way in-ceiling loudspeaker delivers powerful, clear JBL sound in a space-saving package. The titanium-laminate cone woofer with rubber surround delivers tight bass for extended listening sessions. Includes integrated dog-ear brackets for retrofit applications. Optional snap-together rough-in frames (RIF6C) available separately for new construction.
Amazon.com Product Description
A good option for listeners who prefer their stereo equipment to be heard but not seen, this pair of two-way 80-watt speakers installs conveniently in the ceiling, where they deliver a clear, full-bodied sound. Each speaker's mounting cutout measures 7.88 inches in diameter and sits 4.25 inches deep--an unobtrusive size that easily holds the speaker's 6.5-inch titanium-laminate cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. The units are ideal for use as main speakers in your living room or secondary speakers in an adjacent room (when connected to the main receiver), or even as home theater surround speakers (rear left/right) when watching movies or listening to five-channel audio sources. Listeners will appreciate the 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response--which handles bass frequencies with ease--along with the white faceplate that blends easily into most ceiling surfaces (users can also paint the faceplate to match different-colored ceilings). In addition, the tweeters are located on swiveling mounts, so users can customize their angle to maximize the audio performance. The speakers are relatively easy to install using a Philips screwdriver, utility knife, tape measure, and carpenter's level. However, it's difficult to move or reposition them once the cutout is made, so users are advised to take their time when determining the ideal listening location. The set also includes integrated dog-ear brackets for retrofit applications and a template/paint shield that can be used to make the initial cutout or protect the speakers when applying a new color. The speaker terminals accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker cable (not included), which JBL recommends for distances below 20 feet. The company advises using 12-gauge wires for speakers located between 20 and 30 feet from the receiver, and 10-gauge cable for distances above 30 feet. It's the audio that impresses most, however. The speakers deliver rich, powerful sound that fills up a room. Whether your priority is to spread music throughout the house or make your home theater speakers disappear from sight, JBL's SoundPoint speakers get the job done. What's in the Box
Two SP6C speakers with grilles, template/paint shield, warranty card, user's manual.

It sounds good and it was a good buy. Easy to install with no problems.

We recently installed the SP6C's in our small Office/Computer/Work Room.
Coupled them with a NuTone volume control, as the 'source' is two rooms away.
For the most part we are running commercial free Live365 from our router to our Tivo and then through a home theater system for the bedroom. Once in awhile we might play a CD, or tape, or FM radio through the home theater source, to other rooms, but we mostly run the Live365.
The JBLs were a breeze to install, nice to look at, and have a sound that is better than we expected, for all of what we play. Nice clear sound, the highs are high, the lows are low, there is nice separation.
The ability to aim the tweeter's is a plus for convergence.
I was a little bit leery of getting the off white, as I thought that it would not look right with our conventional condo popcorn ceilings.
But the price was right, so I ordered them, just the same.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that they blend in beautifully.
We have ceiling speakers of different brands in some of our rooms.
The bedroom, home theater set up calls for, and benefits from, our Parasound Pal-1002-Cerwin Vega amplified sub woofer.
We were wondering how we would fare with the JBLs in a room without the subwoofer.
They hold up very well at the lower volumes we run the sound at in the small room that they are in. We hardly miss the sub at all.
All in all, we are very happy with the JBLs
Caveat: We run mostly classical, Nu Age and Jazz music.
I am not sure how they would hold up to Rock or other music at high volume.
Excellent quality, especially for the price. March 4, 2008

Fantastic purchase. Not the most technical person in the world, but these installed so easily, and look great. Blend into my ceiling (used for rears in my home theater system). Can't beat the price.
Amazing ... April 19, 2007

I bought these as in wall speakers for my kitchen. The bass response is so good, I am thinking of adding couple more in the dining area. Amazing.
Just fine for the money... April 9, 2007

it's pretty simple, you get what you pay for... no these won't be able to handle the loudest music with ease nor would i recommend them for home theatre surround...
however, they work perfectly fine for ambient sound throughout the house... in all i bought 3 pair; one for the kitchen, the master bath, and the utility room... utilizing some volume switches and an additional receiver connected to zone 2 on my master receiver and i couldn't be happier...
absolutely nothing wrong with these as long as you don't ask too much of them...
