Speaker Placement
When installing in-ceiling speakers or subs, (or in-ceiling anything for
that matter) it is always a good idea to find out what is in the ceiling
before cutting holes. Be aware of the location of plumbing, electrical
and structural elements that may affect speaker placement.
Stereo
It is also a good idea to locate stereo speakers so they are centered to
the main listening position in which the user/s will normally be located.
Whenever possible, try to position the left and right speakers at the
same distance from each other as they are from the main listening
position.
Subwoofer
Subwoofers are omni-directional so placement of in-ceiling subs is
somewhat less critical, but placement can be affected (good and bad)
by corners and walls, so try to find a location that will be somewhat
unaffected by placement.
Surround
Locate surround speakers according to the recommendations in the
surround processor’s owner’s manual.
