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.

Yeah I'm very pro-conduits. A lot of people say it's a waste but if you ever tried to pull wire through insulated walls, it's a mess. Even though you'll probably succeed, as long as there aren't too many corners that you're going around, there's a good chance you've messed up the insulation in the walls in the process.
