Monoprice 14365 Ceiling Silver speaker mount

Metal Back Can for 8-inch Ceiling Speaker with Brackets (pair) Adding back cans to your in-ceiling speakers is the easiest and most cost-effective means of improving the quality and volume level of the sound, as well as improving overall installation safety.

Ordinary bookshelf or floor-standing speakers use carefully designed and crafted enclosures to shape and give body to the sound produced by the drivers. However, in a basic in-ceiling or in-wall installation, the driver projects sound without the assistance of an enclosure or, if you will, using the ceiling or wall space as the "enclosure". This space is obviously not carefully designed and matched to the speakers' capabilities.

These metal back cans are designed specifically for use with the 8-inch Carbon Fiber 2-way In-Ceiling Speaker with Magnetic Grille (13683). They are easily installed on the speaker and include a mounting bracket for use with drywall or drop ceiling installations. A safety hook allows you to attach a tether to a secure point, which will prevent the speaker from falling to the ground in the event of a ceiling surface or speaker mounting tab failure.

Best of all, you will get improved sound quality and volume, especially in the bass frequency ranges
