Linus just a word of caution as an Engineer, if your house was built before 1996 that ceiling/or ceiling paint (bumpy/looks like drips) most likely contains asbestos and i would highly recommend ventilating that room heavily for a couple days as asbestos dust will literally just float in the air for years.

You just cut giant holes in your vapor barrier. In winter it will create mold on the sealing and condensation in the insulation.

Linus, please make a video on game servers and how ping works. When we trace the ping it shows hops through which it passes to reach destination servers. But sometimes some of the hosts has packet loss and thus ping is too high. Is it possible to reroute the path to use better hosts to reach servers. Gamer community will love this know this knowledge.

yeah but in reality you WOULD need that in a studio setting, as an audio engineer i could argue this all day, i do need $700 speakers, two of them? thats a luxury, but one is the minimum, if you dont have a correct monitor when you export your audio it will just be all over the place

[@alexverbaan]

@@djexitvideos Yeah, that's why I like that she called him out... but also, you should never let your equipment dictate how good you are or aren't allowed to be at something. Most mixing engineers will listen to their mixes in their cars to double check things. Not because their cars have good speakers, but because they know what those speakers sound like. In a professional setting, while good speakers make life easier, its more important to know your speakers than how good they are. That said a set of $700 studio monitors is a pretty massive upgrade to quality of life.

[@MR_ARKANSAS]

Just a couple tips for would be in-ceiling speaker installers from someone who does it professionally. 1. run your wires high so they dont get stepped on. 2. leave yourself a service loop and some slack so you can pull out the speaker if necessary. 3. adjust your drill down to the lowest power settings/clutch? setting so you dont over tighten 4. always check above where you are about to cut. dont nick electral wires or accidently hit studs/joists 5. stud finder will save you some wasted attic trips. 6. Attics get really hot, don't put your equipment up there. 7. 1 speaker is usually good enough for a single room. 8. speakers in wall will sound better than speakers in ceiling when doing surround sound for living rooms. finally not a tip but opinion. Klipsch has been the best bang for the buck speaker i've come across, but there are many good brands.

1 speaker is good enough? shouldn't there be at least 2 for stereo audio? 1 is just mono and you lose a lot of the experience that way.

[@devinmcdrip]

@@AlohaBiatch I don't think there's really an ideal place for a speaker in the ceiling. You could possibly put it in a box to make it sound a bit nicer. Maybe a bit bassier too

[@erikniemi1977]

@@devinmcdrip You are not wrong, a box is a good idea and many are actually sold with the box as an option. However it looks like the installs were done in the attic space where they should be covered in insulation, and vapour barrier. SOOO hopefully they did that off camera because speakers aren't that great and insulating. You'd end up with hot or cold spots on the ceiling depending on the season and possible condensation issues as hot air meats cold air in the winter. There should be a vapour barrier "box" placed over each speaker that's exposed to outside air, that "box" should be sealed with tuck tape or other brand of vapour barrier tape and then insulation placed over the vapour barrier box. That by itself will actually make them sound better as well if done correctly. I'm hoping it just made the video too long to show the entire process. Similar process to install pot lights in a ceiling exposed to outside air however fire rating for the pot light is important. These are great videos but they are NOT complete instructional videos as they leave out the "boring" details sometimes. Yes you may want to consult a professional if you haven't done or seen it done before by a pro.

I used to use a "clock stereo" from Best Buy as my alarm clock (basically a small all-in-one stereo system with 5-Disc CD, Tape, Radio, and I think the speakers are about 1.5 feet but they consider it to be a clock radio and not a stereo system). I literally had to get up and walk over to it to turn it off. I still somehow managed to fall back asleep (I'd sit down on my bed and next thing I'd know it was an hour later, fortunately the job I had at the time started late enough in the day that I wasn't late). Before that when I was in the Scouts I slept through reveille (didn't know it was spelled that way) on a number of occasions. I've also slept through a marching band directly outside my window (window was open) and a smoke alarm going off. I did eventually wake up to the smoke alarm after having a waking dream where I thought the sound was coming from a computer I had been working on then another waking dream where I realized it was coming from the smoke detector and tried to check it while in reality my body was still asleep. Not sure how long I was actually out for while it went off but, fortunately it was a false alarm (looking back at it now I guess something in the detector circuit shorted). I'm actually a bit of an insomniac and have a lot of trouble falling asleep so when I do fall asleep I'm out cold.

And in before people call me names or say bad things about this, she has the same access to our shared every day spending account as I do and she knows how to access the savings account if she really wants to.

@@wasecheber Maybe how the speaker connects to the drywall is where the difference is? I mean if you have tiny little tabs it would work fine for in wall because the force of gravity isn't pulling out against the tabs that is going straight down on top of the drywall, not to mention the vibrations from the speaker itself, where as an in ceiling speaker may have a more robust mounting system to so that it can hold the weight and vibrations ... *shrug* I'm just guessing here mind you.

Pretty good install! Dynamat makes some cool speaker boxes for in ceiling speakers that you should take a look at. Open backed in-ceiling speakers let a sound of the sound escape into the attic and between floors. Putting your cheaper open backed speakers in a dynamat box will not only help with the noise bleed but also improve the overall quality of the sound and make them sound better than more expensive lines.

To get the most out of in ceiling speakers it's best to have an enclosure (back box) around them (the part that goes into the ceiling). You will notice better bass plus it also acts as noise isolation inside the ceiling.

[@Doctrtony]

Pro tip, just install them in the wall in retrofit lol, unless you have an attic up there. Also you can do a single speaker in each room, the amp has a mono setting! Also use a jab saw and definitely not a powered saw to make your hole because there could be electrical cables in the wall or pipes. It's better to put the amps inside of a closet or something because the attic might get a bit hot, so make sure you have attic fans to keep the attic cool, or install the amps inside of a rack with active cooling to keep them at 92 degrees.
