Lowell LBS8 Tile Bridge for 8inSp

A tile-bridge distributes the weight of a speaker assembly to the ceiling support structure in a suspended 2x2 or 2x4 tile ceiling, minimizing tile sag and preserving the installation's aesthetics. Often mandated by local building codes for safety, the LBS8 tile-bridge can be used with or without a backbox, depending on local regulations and the speaker's style and weight.
