Hire a professional A/V guy! You (hopefully) have more important things to do than spend time educating yourself on what others have already mastered. That concept surely applies to people seeking your help in your career field as well. You are better at your job than a DIY could effectively become after many strained hours. Life's too short to dance with ugly women.
Hopefully, if you ARE doing it yourself, you are doing the work because you love it, and are passionate about your hobby.
If you are doing it yourself to save money...you will probably end up with either a system that doesnt work right, or end up spending MORE MONEY just to fix what you installed and to get it working properly. Hiring a professional is definitely the way to go for most people, especially when you get into the "construction" aspect of custom home theater.
You should also remember what YOUR time costs you...This is the item most DIY guys miss. I dont know about everyone else, buy my time is my most precious commodity, and while I will do most of my own home theater work, being in the industry, I will not do my own plumbing, high voltage electrical, or drywall. I know the limits of my abilities, and know when its best to bring in a pro.
