If you have other gear installed in the same location you may want to check on what your total current demands are and consider a second power circuit, if needed.

I have a si impact and 2 Crown XTI 4000 amps also plugged into the same spot. Im having an electrician run another 20amp circuit to the area so there isnt any worry.

Always good advice. How large is the room? Why 8 speakers?

I originally wanted 4 speakers. The hall is used as a cafeteria but we want to be able to hear what is going on in the main hall over the commotion of people eating and talking. Its roughly a 70x47ish area with 9 ft ceilings. Ive attached a sketch below and picture of the area. I had a tech come out and he said 4 speakers on one side and 4 on one side would be better and i can control the volume better as well

Man that's a low ceiling and lots of reflective surfaces. Serve a lot of bread.
Have you thought of little 4" tabletop speakers?
In any case with so many speakers would seem an ideal 70v application. We will see what the collective has to say.

What is the age of that building? The reason I ask is that "mushroom slabs" haven't been built for decades (unless this is a retro thing).
If that is a "vintage" structure, I would be hesitant to drill any anchors into that ceiling without first consulting a Structural Engineer.

WOW that room just looks loud! Fill that with a lot of people talking and then trying to get intelligible audio over that top of that will be a challenge.
A distributed system with smaller speakers that will be closer to the people would work better like good ceiling speakers. But the big question is the installation and mounting options.
