I would not put it in the ceiling. Tymphany have novel driver that you can build a cabinet for that will fit between the studs. I have no idea if it is any good.

Sure, check out these Infinite Baffles (IB).

I second the IBS solution...especially if you are going to put it in the ceiling and you have access to the attic.

These probably aren't going to push as much air as the IB subs mentioned above, but I'm considering one for my master bedroom. (Replacing the Sony HTTiB plastic cubes with their *cough* full-range 3.5" drivers with Monoprice in-walls)

Place a sub in the room (listening position) if the walls are up and listen/test different locations around the room.

Otherwise the best bet is to wire many multiple locations (4+) or figure on running multiple subwoofers.

No, generally you need shielded RCA 50 or 75 ohm cable, if the sub is powered and most are. You also need a source of AC power for the sub.

I think you need to start off simply. I would forget fancy woofers in the ceiling and start with an in room sub.

You need to get your feet wet first.

put it inside an end table ( with the back of the end table cut out)
