The easiet way is to have somebody hold a mirror on the ceiling while you sit at your listening position.  When you can see the speaker drivers, that's the 1st reflection point.

This is of course easier if you don't have cathedral ceilings.

George is right but a funner way is to use a LASER.  Stick a mirror (borrow a compact from your spause) with double tape on the ceiling.  Point the laser and see if you can hit the driver from your listening position.  Under no circumstances, have your cat with you when you do this! :lol:  :lol:

Silver mylar from a Party Store works the same as a mirror and is safer than glass to manipulate on a ceiling.

The methods previously described are exactly correct.
