I've got nearly everything done with my first home theatre set up.
Researched what I wanted to buy, found a good price, quelled the ire of my girlfriend, bought a universal remote, hooked up everything using the best quality cables I can right now, etc.
Well, almost everything, I still need to mount my surround speakers.

Boy do diagrams help, that ones even mostly to scale.
Yellow-Seating
Red-Door and windows
Blue-Entertainment cabinet
Green-TV
Numbers-Proposed speaker placement (only surrounds will be ceiling mounted)
X-prime seating location
So, now for the questions.
Does this look like the best/right speaker placement?
I need to buy some cl2 rated wire since I'm venturing intpo the attic... monoprice?
I'm going to add about 3 ft to my estimated needed length for my wire, as insurance, sound right?
I don't think I'll need fishing tape since I can use gravity to help me drop the wire, but should I consider any other tool?
Aside form falling through the ceiling, is there anything else I should be wary/aware of?
The speaker mounts will be connected to studs in the ceiling, no worries there.
And of course, any other general advice and suggestions are welcome.
