Love the design-very nice work. Only one major problem though. Putting the subs inside the cavities are goin to excite some really harsh room effects that are gonna sound terrible. Get em outta there ASAP. You can use those cavities for either display boxes, bookshelves or more gear when you need it. I like your idea of running a network of tubing as opposed to wallplates which will kill expandability or format changes down the road. You can leave extra string inside them to make future wire pulls easier. A nice power conditioner in the equipment area should be all you need for power-just try and have it on a dedicated circuit before the drywall comes. As for your Sub boxes, as a DIY guy i might fortify those and build subs into them and take advantage of all that volume. 1 15" driver in each ported and facing into the room would be very loud but still may have some negative effects due to location-still better than putting ready made subs in there. Hope this helps !
