In-wall speakers will almost always sound better than in-ceiling speakers when using them as front channel or rear surround speakers. But in-ceiling will give you a cleaner look in your room.

How many speakers are you installing and how big of a home theater system do you want?

Was installing 2 in ceiling speaker rear and ARC for front. Now will go with I walk and ARC. Small space 15 x 11.


That setup should sound great in that size room. Consider adding the Sub later if you need more bass.

Yes, sub is included. Hope it sounds good. Thanks.
