My installer put it too close to a pipe and decided to pop out the woofer and sit it behind on the insulation. Should I be concerned about the sound quality from this speaker floating behind and what about the insulation getting into the woofer? Please help.

Being able to adjust the cutter to the exact size hole needed and to catch all the shavings while cutting into a ceiling seems like a great way to go.

I have the front speakers in-wall and the rear surround speaker in-ceiling. The surround must be placed in ceiling because there is no rear wall. The question is how it will be the sound received from the in-ceiling speaker. Setting up an Home Theater system. I have the front speakers in-wall and the rear surround speaker in-ceiling.

I would assume that you do not want the loose blown cellulose insulation to be in direct contact with the speaker. is there a cardboard baffle or box deigned to be installed in this location? what about in an insulated attic?

Several in-wall brands/models do make use of a back boxes, though they should be clearly labeled as so. I do know of several installers that like to use back boxes with free-air designs, but I’ve noticed that this is not always an obvious improvement. The reason being your “how big's the box?” question, yes exactly how big should the box be for a speaker designed to play in free-air? Hi Lenny,

The reason being your “how big’s the box?” question, yes exactly how big should the box be for a speaker designed to play in free-air?
