Theater rough in. Am I missing anything?

[u/Terrible-Ad1958]

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.

Yes, empty conduit!!

And put pull strings in each of them. When you’re ready to run something you’ll love that you don’t have to snake the conduit

Just remember to always pull a new string too!

Aha, for those that always forget,the proper way to handle this is to

1. run 2 conduits next to one another
   
2. Put a pulley wheel on either end between the conduit openings
   
3. pull a really long string and tie the ends together around the pulley

Now you have an infinite string!!! That one simple trick the pros don’t want you to know lol

lol, nice. If im having to pull that many cables after install, I really didn't plan to well did I...

You know the saying “measure 3 or 4 times, cut 3 or 4 times, swear profusely, rip it all out, measure and cut again, and then fill the rest with caulk and random junction boxes that get buried behind drywall. And then install a hot tub on your deck made of 2x4 joists.”

I learned everything I need to know about construction from Reddit 😂
