[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1122733, member: 13448"] Not sure why mounting the in-ceilings inside a box is better. It lowers the speaker closer to the floor and therefore reduces the distance from speakers to ear which will reduce the driver's dispersion area and you will have to place the Atmos speakers closer to one another and closer to the listening spot else the sound will simply not reach the ears. Obviously as you rightly pointed out, you cannot just attach the cabinet to the ceiling soft board as it won't hold the weight. Your solution with the J bolts is one option that will work if your trusses are spaced in such a way that there is one at each point where you want to mount a speaker box. When I mounted my projector, I had the same issue and solved it by placing a large thick plank on top of the ceiling soft boards and fixed the projector mount to it. A similar solution may also work for you (depending on the ultimate weight of the boxes with drivers inside). Make sure the boxes are flush against the ceiling. You will note doubt get some vibration from the speakers and don't want that to cause a rattle against the ceiling. [/QUOTE]
