Hey everyone,
I have gotten the bug and looking to install a projector. For now we are doing a soundbar to expand at some point to a larger sound system but I would love some opinions on this quote.

EDIT :Based on the feedback, thanks to the sub, not doing a soundbar, the contractor offered this solution below as well and is also going to work on something a little bit in between price wise:

A few things I am particularly curious about:
- $300 for a mount seems like a lot. Is that just the price for a good mount?
- ~~$779 for the matrix switch to connect projector also seems pretty high. I am curious if there is a reason to need something that expensive.~~
- ~~I am thinking just to buy the audio equipment and do the install myself as $300 to install a sound bar seems to be an easy task as opposed to running the wire for the projector (I do not have attic access so Id rather have a pro do the projector wire running)~~
Thanks!
