Lowell Manufacturing PR8-1624 Steel Rough-in Bridge for 8" Speaker Assembly with Screw-Mount Grille

Be prepared for a seamless audio setup with the PR8-1624 Steel Rough-in Bridge, a vital component for any professional or enthusiast looking to install an 8" speaker assembly with precision and ease. This robust and reliable rough-in bridge is expertly crafted in the U.S.A. from high-quality, 22-gauge certified U.S. steel, ensuring a durable and sturdy foundation for your recessed loudspeaker.

Designed to be mounted to the structural members of a ceiling or wall before the installation of drywall, the PR8-1624 features a convenient half-inch protruding lip. This design detail guides the drywaller to cut around it accurately, leaving a perfectly sized hole for your speaker installation. The black finish on the welded extension panels not only adds a sleek look but also complements a wide range of interior designs.

The PR8-1624 offers an economical and versatile solution for environments where ceiling or wall depth is limited and cannot accommodate a backbox, or in situations where a backbox is not mandated by building codes. Additionally, for those installations requiring a backbox, the PR8-1624 can be used in conjunction with one (to be ordered separately), providing flexibility for various project requirements.

Installation is made straightforward with the included 8-32 screw retaining clips, which are designed to securely mount an 8" speaker and screw-mount grille (also ordered separately). Should you opt to use an optional backbox, the installer will need to provide four 8-32 mounting screws to complete the setup.

The PR8-1624 is compatible with standard 8" drivers that feature a screw-mount grille, making it a reliable choice for a wide array of audio systems. Choose the PR8-1624 Steel Rough-in Bridge for a high-quality, reliable mounting solution that stands the test of time and enhances your audio installation projects.
