Hi Guys

I wonder if anyone had any ideas for building atmos speaker ...full range driver I presume or 2 way ? What would u suggest driver/cabinet wise?

Thanks in advance!

From reading the atmos specifications, the speakers on the ceiling should be timber matched with the surround speakers.

There is also very specific direction that they have to go. It also depends on the setup. Be it 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.2,7.1.4 etc.

I am just going to build 4 more surround speakers and install in the atmos locations. I have heard that your better off doing 5.1.4 instead of 7.1.2 but that depends on the receiver you use.
