Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Storm damage to HT room?

I know it really doesn't make much sense to put 7.1 in a room this small, but if I was going to do that, where would I put the 2 extra speakers. My thought would be to place them in the ceiling, just behind the seating area. Although I hate to cut into the ceiling and potentially weaken the soundproofing.

When 7.1 is played on a 5.1 system, what happens to the rear sound tracks? Do they get dropped, or do they get combined with the side surrounds?

This picture doesn't show it, but there's an EP800 sitting under the screen on it's side. (Speakers are overkill for this room, but at least I've got good sound. Just have to be sure the AVR has a max vol setting that's right for this room) 3 M80 in-cab behind screen and 2 QS8 behind seating position.
