Which speakers to choose? Help me build media room.

[snakeeyes]

I am not familiar with "sub crawl". But if all the speakers are in wall and in ceiling, won't sub woofers look odd on the floor?

I’m not sure how to correctly install in-wall subs but how things look isn’t a primary goal for an audiophile. LOL

Can I install the subs being recommended into the wall? What are the issues if sub is installed in wall?

Can I get an input on what wire to use for media room? Is this good or should I change to 14 g or some other brand? Per contractor 16G is good enough and will cost more for 14 G.

Per contractor:

The coax, Cat6 and speaker wire is manufactured by Belden.
The coax is shielded RG6.
The cat6 is 4pair twisted wire.
The speaker wire is 16 gauge, oxygen free, 65 strand copper.

The media room will be wired in the 7.2.4 configuration.
The speaker wire is 16 gauge 4 conductor wire.
The media room prewire includes a 4K HDMI that runs from the equipment location too the projector location.

Appreciate suggestions.

Something like the RBH SI-10 sub is made specifically for in-wall.

If you can install in-ceiling subs, I would get the SI-1010, which is made for in-ceiling.
