Taking into consideration that I already have the pre wired installation in-ceiling and my budget (<$1000) for a 5.1 system. I would like to know if I can use the CDT-3650-C for the rear surround as well as front speakers.

For the moment I am thinking on using the receiver Yamaha HTR-5540, sub YST-SW005 and central speaker from my old “home theater system”.

I will appreciate any input and advice. I will use the 5.1 mostly for movies

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for your response. I did not mean front wall, I mean on the front but on the ceiling. I already have 5 holes on the ceiling, 2 on the rear and 3 on the front. I wanted to know if the same model CDT-3650 can be use for this or I need to put other speakers on the ceiling/front? I want to have all the speakers on the ceiling.

Other question I have is how important is the distance between the rear/front speakers on the ceiling to the center speaker. Is it better when the speakers are close? Now my room is 220 " L X 151 " W  X 107" H

Thanks,

German

gbogom, what Michael is saying is that in-ceiling speakers are never recommended for front speakers.  Like he said, You should have directional sound coming from near the screen, not above you.  In-wall speakers would be the best way to go.
