Movies are very well set up for 2, 5, and 7 speakers +/- sub. Most receivers will let you turn the center channel off and route it through the others. But if you're installing 4 in-ceiling speakers, is their a reason you aren't doing a 5th?
Like a 5th speaker will transform 4 ceiling speakers into a surround sound system? He should provide every speaker in his house with a mono signal, so all of the sound comes out of every speaker. May as well get a bunch of elevator music because that's all its going to be good for IMO.

This is quite easily accomplished. Receiver + zone 2, run Zone 2 through a zone selector controlled via remote. universal remote with RF such as the harmony home w/hub
Some other receivers will have stereo zone 2 outs which can be fed into a line level audio distribution channel- w/multi amp.
You can, if you know what you're doing, have multiple stereo-connected rooms + surround sound living room.
Or, if you're commenting on the ceiling being an inferior place to put the speakers- some people like it. And to some, it sounds plenty good enough. I wouldn't do it. But if running 4 ceiling speakers, I'm at least curious as to why not a 5th.
