So ive built a couple sets of flat panels with canvas pictures and they sound great with a seperate sub matched with them. I am thinking about building another set for my garage shop and I have a couple questions.
1. these are just for garage work shop so not looking for perfect amazing sound but do want them to sound good cranking up the tunes while I work. I have 2 large canvas pictures that are 30x46 that i was debating suspending from ceiling down firing so as to not take up space because my walls are already covered in other stuff. Will this sound decent down firing like that? its a standard 2 car garage
2. using these very large canvas 30x46 what type and size exciter should I use? should I do two 4ohm exciters on each to pair them to 8ohm? I have a yamaha audio video receiver that im using for my computer sound in the garage that I can power these with. I think 100 watts per channel and the receiver is actually designed to be programmed and used with either 8ohm or 4ohm speakers. I can even bi amp if I need to with this receiver

Has anyone ever tried ceiling down firing these flat panel speakers before or am I just gonna have to do the work to try it myself? Was curious if the weight of the exciteres on down facing canvas would have a big affect on the sound waves in the canvas?
Have you searched in the following thread for answers to your questions?

yea im reading thru it a bit now, over 300 pages!! lol wasnt sure yet if it was gonna have specific answers so figured id ask my questions seperately
I have panels hanging from my ceiling. They work well but you will need some kind of brace to support the exciters weight. They sound amazing actually
I would definitely go for more exciters if you can, especially if these will be full range.
