Thanks for all the tips. Unfortunately, I am my own drywall-er. So back charging myself wont help.
Hello
If you think you will be using long sheetrock screws nail plates should be used
On every stud that you’re wiring goes through. These are available at HD or Lowes for about 0.15ea and they are cheap insurance.
RG-6QS can be used for subwoofer, video and audio interconnects and HDMI should be pulled to location before sheetrock goes up.
If your going to do front projection the 15 amp outlet should be placed in close proximity of the projector and your HT outlets should be on independent circuits one for lighting, one for video and one for audio.
Leveton industrial outlets ($3ea) should be used because they grab and hold heavy power cords like the ones found on amps and power conditioners better than standard outlets.
Baffles should be installed on all A/C diffusers or returns in the room
Lighting should be planned carefully keep this in mind when looking at your options If it rattles forget it and move on. Those fancy glass wall sconces and most cheaper metal can lighting have no place in a high performance HT
If you are doing your own sheetrock save yourself some grief and get a dustless sander
Get the best insulation you can afford for all walls and ceilings
Lastly color choice is pretty important gloss paint should be avoided and any color darker than Kodak gray will yield excellent results
Have fun
