Need Advice!


I am new to the forum and I originally posted to the wrong location, so here we go again. I am in the process of building a house that will eventually have a ht. I've got about 2-3 weeks before the drywall goes up since the electrician will start around Wednesday. I am planning on just running the cables and wires now and complete everything within a year. The bonus room is 18x24 and there is a 5x8 closet that I plan to make my central hub for my structured wiring and rack system. I've got a plan I just don't know if it is a very good one.

1. The FP is going to be around 25-30 feet away from my closet so I was going to run 1-hdmi, 1-toslink, 2-cat 5e, 2 rg6 quad shield, 4-12 ga speaker wire(this was suggested earlier), and an rca cable.

2. To the same location, I plan running a 1-2" conduit for future expansion.

3. For the side speakers, I was planning on 2 each 12 ga wire.

4. For the subwoofer 1-rg6 coax.

5. Last of all, an unrelated question. I was considering buying from monoprice cat 6 patch cords and using that for network and voice throughout the house since they are pre-connected and very reasonably
priced.

This is the plan thus far, any advice would be greatly appreciated since I am below novice. Thanks.
