new guy, new theatre


Hi all,

I am new to the scene and I am in the process of building a dedicated theatre room. I could use some help with certain construction ideas. I have a moderate sized space in a basement (13'-6" x 21' w/ 9'+ ceilings). We plan on a projector set up with 100" screen (hopefully). The rough framing is almost finished and I am looking into the electrical end of things. From what I have read here, it seems that we will be trying out a 7.1 sound system. Having said that, I will be running the flexible conduit from the power center to the speaker locations. Here is where the questions start:

1. Do the conduits terminate into a single gang box at the speaker locations?

2. I assume that half the speakers will be free standing (yes or no?) so where should I mount the terminations?

3. Is there any reason to run 5e wire to the speaker locations?

4. Should I be looking into anything else?

Thanks for the help. I will try to post some progress pics soon.
