Question for Acoustic types

[airboss]

I'm still fooling around trying to build my shop. I'll be putting a 416a/802/811 system in there. The speakers will be built according to an Altec design for these components and then installed into recesses, with the front (say) 5 inches sticking into the shop area. Because they are near the ceiling should I put them in with the bass driver at the top? In other words upside down so I can get some coupling of the bass to the ceiling? Or just install them normal with the horns on top.

Thanks

I'd hang the boxes horn down ( for the extra clarity this can offer when trying to get over top of the noise from power tools ) .

Valid, and the woofer close to the ceiling is also valid...so ya know what I would do...
