Q: 1. Is this price for a pair or single? JBL ships in pairs

A: The JBL Control 45C/T is sold individually. This item includes a single speaker with mounting hardware.

Q: 2. How do I wire the two speakers together--can I do it with standard speaker wire?

Q: 3. Can these be mounted in a drop ceiling setup? Will they be too heavy for the tile? Will they sound okay?

A: Yes, the JBL Control 16C/T 2-Way 6.5" Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeakers can be mounted in a drop ceiling. This is their intended use and they will sound just fine.

Q: 4. Where did it make?

A: JBL manufacturers its products in several different parts of the world but does not specify where individual products such as the JBL Control 5 Passive 6.5" 2-Way 175W Loudspeakers are made.

Q: 5. Recomended 8Ω JBL or CROWN amplifier for 2 per channel 18C/T?

A: The JBL CSA 2120Z Audio Amplifier - 2 x 120W (B&H # JBCSA2120Z) that James recommended is a good option since it can be used as a 70V or standard amp and its power rating makes it a good match for use with two of the JBL 18C/T speakers on each channel. Crown's XTi 1002 (B&H # CRXTI1002) is a standard stereo amp rated at 275W per channel at 8 Ohms which could also work for you. As another option, the QSC ISA300Ti Commercial Power Amplifier (B&H # QSISA300TI) is a standard amp rated at 180W per channel at 8 Ohms and also operates at 70V for a constant voltage setup.

Q: 6. CAN IB YPASS TRANSFORMER AND USE OF HI FI AMP SPEAKER TURMINALS?

Q: 7. Can these be used for outdoor applications?

A: not really, unless you have weather proof casing for them

Q: 8. What is a good head unit to pair with a group of 6 speakers?

A: The Control 26CT has a built in transformer allowing in it to be used in a distributed audio system. These speakers are able to be tapped at multiple wattages. When connected to a 70v audio system, the amplifier must be rated to handle the sum of all speakers connected with an additional 20% for headroom.

Q: 9. Can you use these speakers on a regular home amplifier?

A: The JBL Control 26CT are designed to be use with a 70v commercial amplifier. A home receiver lacks the necessary transformer found in commercial amps like the JBL CSA 1120Z Audio Amplifier; B&H# JBCSA1120Z.
