Room set up

[Spr]

I'm setting up a general purpose speaker system in my basement. The room is 8'x15' with low ceilings at 6'6". I have run wires for 4 in ceiling speakers. The TV will be centred on the 15' wall. I want to keep the speakers in line with the pot lights in the room. They will be equal distances (right and left)from the TV. Will I get good listening quality from this symmetrical configuration? I will also have a centre under the TV and a sub.

You won't get good sound from in-ceiling mains.

In ceiling is my only option. Any suggestions on layout?

Careful placement of ceiling speakers used as the front stage is futile. There's only so much that turd can be polished. Are you planning to put your receiver / blu-ray player / etc. in a TV stand? Would it be possible to use this TV stand instead? You'd get better sound from that than from any ceiling-mounted main LR speakers.
