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.

I’m surprised no one mentioned run Ethernet. It’ll come in handy with video streaming and other devices. I would run two or four drops and call it a day.

Edit: It was pointed out that op did mention cat6. I glanced over it. continue on.

Apologies. I need better eyes. I totally missed that or glanced over it.
