Even with a lot of insulation, you still may get a lot of the bass
frequencies (as I do) transmitting to the upstairs rooms (unless you can
physically isolate the speakers and box?!)

Hi Mick

I have installed a pair of ceiling speakers into my dining room.
There is a great amount of sound leakage to the upstair bedroom when
they are playing music.

If I was doing the installation again I would definitely look at
creating an enclosure around the rear of the speaker and using some
loft insulation to prevent sound leakage to the upstairs rooms.

Good luck

Tom
