@crutchfield Well not yet, I'm still troubleshooting what's wrong with my speakers. I'm not sure if it's my reciever or speakers so I'm going to take my multimeter to the speakers to test them is my first step.

That sounds like a solid plan. It is difficult to properly upgrade a system without first knowing what is working and what isn't. Keep us posted!🤘

I’m a bit hesitant using a jig saw on the ceiling tile as I think the thin plastic coating would rip….I’m thinking I should use a jig saw on the wood and an utility knife on the tile…. Thoughts?

That's why he's put the Lauan on top of the finished side of the tile, to prevent ripping.

Thanks so much for the guide. Question: would it be sturdy enough if I use a second ceiling tile instead to prevent sagging (since I have plenty of extra tiles)? Thank you in advance!

I have a small home theater in my basement, with a single pair of cheap bookshelf speakers facing forward. Would replacing them with bigger ceiling speakers facing straight down over the couch sound better or similar? I don't have the room for a full surround sound setup, and the bookshelf speakers sound fine to me, but I don't like how they stick out like a sore thumb. I'm worried the drop ceiling would reduce the effectiveness of the ceiling speakers, dampening the sound and potentially making it echo.

In ceilings are very popular right now for this application. Just so you use a beefier option with a good center channel and power match, it's a solid option.

You can double check the weight capacity for your tiles. Adding the backing board is a good way to ensure the speakers stay secure over time though.

Found this video while searching for how to install my new atmos speakers. But also found a forum that was filled with people saying that you cant use speakers like this in drop cellings because the mid range and bass frequencys will get cancled out by a "back wave". They were saying the only way to prevent this is to completely incase the back. Is any of this remotely true. Im so tried of audiofile people at this point i feel like every single one say the last thing the other person said is the worst thing ever. Theres never any middle ground. I only bought these speakers cause i was told my drop celling would f up the upwardds firing type by twn people in a forum and was treated like an idiot over even considering not geting in celling speakers.

A backbox is not required for an in-ceiling speaker to work and sound like its designed to. A backbox most often helps with cutting down on audio moving upward and possibly into a room above the one you are in. That box also helps protect the speaker when its installed into a "dusty" location.
@bradfordblevins831010 ай бұрын
I'm in the exact same boat. Looking to add ceiling speakers for Atmos in my drop ceiling and also concerned about not having enough baffling with the drop ceiling tiles. Personally think I'm going to take the middle ground and do something like in this video but with a thin MDF sheet to act as a small baffle and covering with batting. If you haven't seen them Klipsch does offer a ceiling speaker enclosure, ME-650-C

The model needed for any given speaker will vary. We can check our gear for a rough-in bracket to match your speakers. What is the brand and model of them?

You'll need an amplifier/receiver to power the speakers. The amplifier will then connect to your tv. You will also be able to connect the mp3 player to the amplifier/receiver as well. Do you already have speakers or just in the beginning stages?
