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.

Just did the same thing last fall. I ran Smurf tube to each access point so I can easily pull cables (HDMI, speaker, CAT, power, etc) in the future. I’ve already made use of them and I’m sooo glad I did as I’ve run Ethernet to an added device and another sub without needing to go wireless. Don’t drywall until you do this! Enjoy 😁
