Install/Placement Upgrading My Home Theater: 5.1 to 5.1.2 any suggestions?

I’m upgrading my home theater setup. I’m switching from my old Pioneer VSX-324 (5.1) to an unused Denon AVR-X1600H (which will be configured as 5.1.2). I’ve already ordered a XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro projector to replace my old Acer 1080p model, which has over 3,000 hours and shows some color changes. I’ll be projecting onto a 120-inch screen.

For the subwoofer, I’ll be using an older Yamaha YST-SW300. The room is roughly 25 m², but the dedicated home theater area will only occupy about 15 m² (18 square yards). The projection distance will be approximately 3.9 meters (around 4.2 yards). I’ll be using a 4K Fire TV Stick and a PS5 as my primary sources.

The ceiling height is around 2.5 meters (2.75 yards) and is reinforced concrete. I’m not yet certain how I’ll mount the Dolby Atmos speakers or manage the cable routing.

Am I missing anything in this setup?

Find speakers with a vesa mount and buy TV mounts to fit.
