Crafted from 20 - gauge one - piece U.S. steel with welded seams and a white finish, it offers durability. Measuring 13 inches in length and width, and 6 inches in depth, with a volume of 0.587 cu.ft., it provides ample space. The 1 - inch thick acoustic batting enhances sound quality.

Using the Lowell CB86A enclosure is easy. First, decide whether you want to mount it on the ceiling or the wall. Then, attach the Timmerman clips on the front flanges to help with the installation. If you have an E.O. box, you can use the universal mounting pattern to install it (just note that the E.O. box is not included). Next, run your wires through the 0.375 - inch hole with the grommet. You can also use the Wiremold 500 Series knockouts on two sides for additional wire access. After that, place your standard 8 - inch speaker inside the enclosure and attach the screw - mount grille. When it comes to maintenance, keep the enclosure clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the white finish. If you notice any loose parts or issues with the acoustic batting, have it checked by a professional.
