Basics C180
Monitor Audio specifies the C180 as an in-ceiling speaker incorporating an 8-inch MMP II bass driver with a C-CAM Gold Dome tweeter for wide frequency response and dispersion.

Specifications
Figures below are from the official Monitor Audio Basics C180 specification table. Creator Series (e.g. Creator C2L) and CML-BOX back-box specifications are not substituted. The official table leaves Pre-Construction Bracket and Back Box blank; those accessory names are listed on the page but have no C180 spec values, so they are omitted from the table.
