Tracy - can you explain in a bit more detail how these were constructed?
What did you use to join/seal/fill them?

Any pictures?

This is not a new build, but a retro fit. I have the luxury of a new
ceiling going up, so I can do pretty much anything from below, but I
don't have access from the floor above.

This is how I interpreted this, the x & y distance should be different,
and atleast 2' from a wall:

x
...............-
.             .y
.  O       O  .-
.             .
.             .
.             .
...............
w

And w (distance between speakers) should be 6' to 10'
