Can I use the iWs80 outdoors?

No, the iWs80 is designed for indoor in-wall installation. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures may damage the speaker.

What size wire should I use for installation?

For runs up to 50 feet, use 16-gauge speaker wire; for longer runs, use 14-gauge or thicker.

Yes, it includes a white paintable grille that can be matched to your wall color.

What is the power handling of the iWs80?

The RMS power handling is 80 watts, with a peak capacity of 160 watts. It is recommended to use an amplifier delivering 20-160 watts per channel.

Is the iWs80 compatible with Dolby Atmos?

The iWs80 is a standard in-wall speaker and does not include up-firing drivers. It can be used in a surround sound system but not as an Atmos elevation speaker unless paired with separate modules.

How do I paint the grille?

Remove the grille, clean it, and apply thin coats of spray paint suitable for fabric. Avoid clogging the holes.

What is the impedance? Can I use it with a 4-ohm system?
