help KEF Ci160CL FAQ
What ceiling cutout and mounting depth does the KEF Ci160CL need?
The Ci160CL is a rectangular installation speaker with a cutout of about 10.79 by 7.64 inches and a mounting depth of about 3.33 inches. Measure the joist space and ceiling thickness before cutting because the speaker is not a universal round replacement. [Ci160CL specifications](https://www.hifigear.co.uk/kef-ci160cl.html)
Is the KEF Ci160CL a Uni-Q speaker like other KEF Ci models?
The Ci160CL is described as a two-way design with a 6.5-inch extended-response bass driver and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter in an asymmetrical tweeter island. That is different from the Uni-Q driver arrangement used by models such as the newer Ci160.2CL.
What amplifier should I use with the KEF Ci160CL?
The Ci160CL is an 8-ohm architectural speaker, so use an amplifier rated for 8-ohm loads and stay within the model's stated power range. A normal home audio amplifier is the expected match, not an unverified 70-volt commercial line system. [Ci160CL specifications](https://www.hifigear.co.uk/kef-ci160cl.html)
Can the KEF Ci160CL grille be painted for a custom ceiling installation?
The Ci160CL grille and bezel are designed to be paintable so they can blend into a ceiling. Paintability does not make the speaker waterproof, so use it in a damp room only when the installation and local electrical requirements support it.
