    Why not go with matching or smaller HTM's for your surrounds, or maybe volts?

    marc seals has good idea also about using the HTM-6's for rears but you need to get them closer

    Sorry for posting in multiple threads.

    Ceiling is definitely an option, I have my old speakers located there now and it works fine. There is plenty of room in that area (duct work). I may be able to recess and angle towards the sweet spot. See pic. I am guessing its about 16ft away from front wall. please see picture....Nolan do you still recommend the cobalt 8"? or should I try the HTM's or volts 6's?

    AHHHH damn im an idiot i ment VOLT-6 im sorry dude....
    either HTM-6 or Volt-6 the specs are almost identical
    i would lean more toward the Volt-6 with the angled flat pack due to you having to mount them off a ceiling.

    as for a second sub...a second sub is always better or 4
    low fq is always better with MORE... your always gonna want more and dipping down in the teen Hz's your going to want it....
    i run 6 Polk PSW505 3x3 and i cant get down that low and i want more....

    i have a lot of power but the boxes are only tuned to get down so low...

    Leaning towards the volt 6's. Emailed diysg to check on availability. I like that it has a smaller profile with the angled flat pack. Thanks for your input as always.

    Morning all,

    Received my volt6 v2's (thanks for the suggestion Nolan) a few days ago so i started to put them together....got the flat packs this time around (angled) attempting to recessed them into my ceiling and somewhat pointing them towards where i think will be the resting place for my future seating.
