Question: Ceiling Speakers, enclosures and sealing necessary?
I'm installing 4 Dolby Atmos speakers in my ceiling. I purchased the speakers and optional enclosure boxes but the boxes are too big and won't fit between my joists. So, I'm going to just add 2x6 blocks between the joists and cap with a piece of mdf.
My question: do you think it's overkill if I add the framing around the speakers and "seal" with caulking. My primary purpose of boxing them in is for protecting the speakers from any dirt landing on them or me accidentally kneeling on them at some point in the future. The optional boxes I bought are metal, sealed, have insulation, but are too wide to fit between my 14" joists.
I'm boxing them in no matter what, but do I need to make them airtight with caulking?
