I tried searching for the topic but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so forgive me if this has been asked before.
I'm looking for ideas on how to test and compare in-ceiling speakers to get a good idea of the difference in sound between several models/brands for my home.
I'm wanting to test things in my office building, the office I'm in has a drop ceiling (acoustic tiles) and the actual ceiling of the building is about another 12 feet above that, so as I've tried to put some speakers in them but it just seems to get lost in the open space above. The tiles are too flimsy to build any kind of back box on them.
Would it be a good idea if I were to construct some type of box out of MDF or plywood that I'd be able to fit various speakers in or would that color or change the sound too much to get an accurate estimate of what it would sound like in my drywall ceiling?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
