Know before you buy
Yes, the CCM 663 features a pivoting tweeter and a three-position EQ switch. These tools allow you to aim the high frequencies and fine-tune the output to ensure clear, balanced sound even if the speakers are placed off-axis from your primary listening area.
No, these speakers are not moisture-resistant. They are designed for indoor living spaces like home theaters or living rooms and should not be installed in bathrooms, saunas, or outdoor areas.
These speakers are compatible with amplifiers ranging from 25 to 130 watts per channel. With a sensitivity of 88 dB, they are efficient enough to perform well with most standard home theater receivers.
The installation is designed to be straightforward thanks to the QuickDogs mounting system. This tool-less, plug-and-play mechanism allows you to secure the speaker into the ceiling cutout quickly and firmly.
The CCM 663 does not include a built-in back-box. While they can be installed directly into your ceiling, keep in mind that the acoustic performance may vary depending on the cavity space behind the drywall.
You will need a circular cutout with a diameter of 8 inches. It is recommended to verify your ceiling clearance and joist placement before cutting to ensure a proper fit.
