Our take on the Dual DC365C

Dual's DC365C, sold individually, delivers full, detailed sound. It installs directly in your ceiling for a neat, clutter-free look and includes a paintable grille to match your décor. The DC365C features a swiveling tweeter and a tweeter level switch, allowing you to adjust the sound to best fit your space. A built-in speaker enclosure ensures consistently smooth, natural audio. Use a pair of these capable speakers for stereo sound in your den, kitchen, dining room, or just about any other room where you want to enjoy your music.

An optional in-ceiling bracket is recommended for installing the DC365C in a new home under construction (or in a room that's undergoing major renovation).

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Overview: The Dual DC365C is a single, 2-way round, ceiling-mount speaker, part of the Architectural Series of speakers. The speakers are designed to work within nearly all interior decorating schemes where in-ceiling or flush-mounting is feasible.

Woofers: The DC365C uses a black 6-1/2" carbon fiber woofer with a Santoprene surround. The woofer is totally enclosed in a hard plastic enclosure.

Tweeters: The DC365C has a 1" titanium dome tweeter. The tweeter can be swiveled to adjust the angle, up to approximately 20°. The tweeter is wired with a special protection circuitry. The output of the tweeter can be adjusted if desired (-3dB, 0dB, +3dB).

Inputs: The speaker's spring loaded posts will accept pin connectors or bare wire up to 12 gauge. The speaker terminals are gold plated for corrosion resistance and maximum signal transfer.

Paintable: Both the frame and grille can be painted to match the ceiling or wall. A plastic paint shield is included to protect the speakers.

Installation: After a 8-3/16" diameter cutout is made, the speaker is installed in the hole and held in place by a rugged plastic screw-set bracket. The only tool required (after the hole is cut) is a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the clamps. The clamps spread up to 1.5", so they should cover almost any application (most drywall is 1/2" thick). The required depth to install this speaker is 5-1/2".
