I am putting up a new drywall ceiling in my basement. I've read different options on placement. Can they all go into ceiling?

Yes. We mounted ours in the ceiling. Be sure you have them hooked up correctly (run a speaker test) before you finish installation. They are a pain to take back down if you have to make a fix.

You can put them in the ceiling. But for the best surround sound it's best to put them in the walls. Three front and two back.

Typically round go in ceiling and the rectangular go in the wall but we have seen customers use either in each application.

I have 3 of mine mounted in the wall below my TV and the other 2 mounted in the Ceiling so I don't see why you couldn't mount all 5 in the Ceiling.

I put mine in an existing drop ceiling. If you are talking about the box on the unit Yes.

Yes. The way they set it up is the straight extension is meant to be used if you hang them from the ceiling to give you more clearance. I took them all out because I mounted straight to the wall.

I use a sturdy support beam in my basement. I'm willing to bet there's ceiling mounts you can get in the event you don't have a beam strong enough

Yes, it's just a matter of hanging it correctly. Put the large "eye" screw thingees in place, and then, to level it, use a home depot purchased chain at the topmost part to level it with the bottom. I've got a related situation where I'm thinking about putting another one in a different location, but there is no proper beam to connect it to in the basement. So, I'm going to connect it a beam partially recessed under the ceiling, and get a chain to connect to the "eye" screw thingee, then level it. I'm sorry if I'm not clear. But I think it's workable for you with a vaulted roof.

Yes you can screw it into the ceiling but I did not so i can not speak on its durability once secured in place.

That's the reason I bought it. Reading the instructions however, it seems that it might be a bit tricky especially if you have an existing hole. You would need to secure the housing to at least one ceiling joist.

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure you use a stud finder to place it under a beam or you'll have problems. There is a vaulted ceiling attachment you can buy and screw into your ceiling.

HI Sorry to say this cannot be mounted to the ceiling. The bar locks into the end bracket when mounted in the door frame.Having said I installed mine on the main support beam in the basement. Used a 4x4 and lag bolts. Cut and mount 4x4 below the beam but not to low that you walk into it. I did this rather than a door frame.

The difficulty is in finding a stud in the ceiling, how high your ceiling is and getting the rods exactly parallel. There are things to consider. I had a very small laundry room space to work with, so getting an 8 foot ladder in there, installing where when clothes are hung long items won't hit people in the face coming in from the garage and making sure the doors don't sweep the bottom of long hanging clothes were all considerations. In addition, I wanted to allow several inches from the drywall to not risk damp clothes causing the drywall to become damp.

I used a 6" hole saw to drill a hole throught the end joist. My unit is installed in an unfinished basement. I used concrete anchors to bolt it to the cinder block foundation. I'm guessing here, but if your basement is finished, you may have a drop ceiling or ceiling to go through to access the end joists.

Absolutely. Not a problem. Just spread the arms out, and connect the colored electrical wires to the colored wires in your ceiling. After all, guys don't read instructions anyway.... lol

Yes I see no problem with it fitting in your basement as long as your ceiling height is over 80 inches high. The house stands 80 inches high. You will probably have to build it in the basement because it probably wont fit through the door after it is assembled. If you ever wanted to move it out of the basement then you will have to disassemble it.

Holes will need to be drilled right into ceiling studs and the base of the brackets bolted parallel to the studs (this works better if you have exposed studs). Then the studs come with a bolt that holds down the bar, so it is mounted last.

Drilled a pilot hole through the thick ends- then screwed them in. For the ceiling- there is quite a bit of weight- so it might be difficult- the middle slats would be hard to screw though without breaking them.

It will not hold if screwed into sheetrock only....I am sure that our ceiling beams and a purchased bracket for mounting were used to mount the vent. We had to use it as a recirculating unit, rather than vented to the outside. It was a big job to install and our electrician did most of the job. He special ordered the bracket but I couldnt give you more info. We have had the unit for 2 yrs and I amvery happy with it.

I didn't do this but I don't see why you couldn't. I used some small nails and put on my wall but it should work on your ceiling as well.
