Got my hands on a Monitor Audio C180-T2 for a good price ready to go in my bathroom ceiling.

What I am trying to now decide on is whether it needs a fire hood or a back box to improve sound. In the short term I don't plan on having the loft converted but will be having a floating floor put down which I want to be semi-permanent (i.e. if I then decide on a full loft conversion, to hopefully be able to keep the floor to keep costs down).

So if I decide on a fire hood for future proofing, how can I then go about improving bass from the ceiling speaker to that I am not leaking sound into the loft?

Really not clued up on this stuff. Do I need any particular speaker cabling or will bog standard do?
 
Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for the offer of fire retardant material lucid, I will likely take you up on the offer. Any idea on the dimensions I need to work on to get the most out of the speaker?
