I am all about overkill when it comes to building things, so I put the 2 x 4's behind the wall because the walls were open. Same thing in the ceiling for the projector, although all it technically needs is a floor joist to hold it.

Another problem is the wires, which I ran under the horizontal 2 x 4's between the studs. No way I can get those any higher without cutting a 6" hole in both walls which I would obviously prefer not to do.

Hindsight is always 20/20 I suppose.
