Hey all. I've been lurking around, but this is my first post and would love advice for my specific room.
The facts:
Room size is 13.5 x 17.5, ceiling is 7.5 ft high
1/2" drywall over 1/2" Celotex sound board.
Two walls are full hieght diapered cement.
Screen wall is half height (43") diapered cement.
Room framing is psuedo room within a room.
Wired for 9.1
Crawl space door near the middle of screen wall (must stay, will be covered by screen).
Goal:
I'd love to build in-wall multi-driver speakers to preserve the limited floor space. I can do full-boxed speakers. From 43" and up, almost not depth limitation. From 43" down, about 8" depth to the cement. I really don't want towers with baffles 20-35" from screen wall.
Being a bass player, I really appreciate percussion/punch in the lower registers (40hz-10hz).
Question:
Should I build three WMTMs with box into the walls? Or should I suck it up and go with towers? I see so many 2-way in-walls, but am concerned this won't put out the SPLs I want available.
Budget is very small so I'm thinking about building. Right now I have two 15 3-way Fishers (hand me downs) and a Klipsh center w/ 5.25 drivers.
Here are pics of the screen wall:
Thanks for any insight. I've never built speakers, but have some woodworking skill and don't mind cutting up the dry wall.

WMTM in-wall idea
Unfortunately, I couldn't edit the above post so I'm adding a modified pic here showing my thoughts for in-walls. My aim is to have them behind the screen which would give floor space back and give me more creative room to build a proscenium. I could bring the speakers down somewhat, but the bottom of the crawl space door is a limitation.
Thoughts?

Well - I would think that the speakers should not be physically attached to the wall, rather floating on some kind of cushion/padding. I think it would be tough to avoid wall resonances if the speakers are connected to the wall.
