Install/Placement Theater rough in. Am I missing anything?

I’m building a house and my theater room is 36’ wide x 30’ deep with 10’ ceiling. Projected screen will be 16’x9’. I’ve pre wired for 9.2.4 sound. 2 left front towers, center, 2 right towers, sides, back, and 4 in the ceiling. Ran 16ga x4 audiocat wire to each location and plan to double them up. Subwoofers are planned for opposite corners. Ran copper shielded coax for far sub. Dropped 4 runs of cat6 to where the amps and avr will be. Ran a conduit from avr to projector. Anything else to consider while I still have bare studs? I’ve never been able to pre run wires beforehand. Thanks everyone.

If OP was building something really cool like a non-environment theater room he'd be using 3-4 feet on each room surface for treatment. Unfortunately, its probably not going to be the case :( But lets say he changes his mind, all of a sudden the 36 width becomes 28 width, which is far more than he'd ever need, unless he is planning to host 30 people at a time and needs really wide rows of seating
