Time for another round of speakers to build, thankfully these MT's look like much less work than the Khanspire WMTMW. I went with Mark K's design after kgveteran told me about them. I do like powerful sound so it made sense to go with these rather than an MT designed for a 7" driver. The side surround speakers place me in a strange position because of their location.
So if a speaker was built with a pretty deep cabinet, people walking to the back row would constantly smack their heads with the cabinet. So after some thought, I decided to do a hybrid in-ceiling speaker. I wanted the front of the baffle to be exposed but not have a deep enclosure, I didn't want to sacrifice internal volume so most of the box is hidden in the ceiling, and I wanted to keep the same size of the front baffle. Here is the rough enclosure.

Now the shape of the speaker presents the problem that a 8" woofer would not fit in the regular orientation of woofer bottom/tweeter top, so it will essentially be upside-down with the tweeter on the skinnier bottom part of the baffle. The rear surrounds will just be boxes, nothing funky like this.
