Not sure if in right place

[eurovw89]

Help me out please. I am working on my basement and going to make a HT room. Would the rear speakers (3) be too far away? Should I mount them at hear level or higher?

Please please please....if ANYONE has ANY input or suggestions PLEASE feel free to add.

I am going to run a 2" PVC in-wall behind T.V. for HMDI, cable, etc... Should I run conduit for speaker wires, or just run them like running romex?

Does anyone know of where I could get surge protection which I can mount on or by electrical panel? i.e. I am putting a recessed recep behind my HDTV which is going to be mounted on wall, and a/v stand below the T.V. I would like to sure protect my HDTV and A/V equipment.

Please help with anything if possible......i am having a case of 'no ideas'

Forgot to show where I will be sitting. The seating will be in the middle of the room

Your rear speaker placement is fine. Ear level is a good idea. The surrounds can be set up about like the front pair with a listening triangle, which is what it looks like you're doing. Conduit isn't needed for speaker wire but there is a jacketed cable intended for in-wall installation. Here's a source for that from a forum sponsor.

If a movie/music is mixed for a certain speaker configuration, you are going to get the best results by sticking with the recommended configuration.
