15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit

I will run all 5 power amp at the same time . And it will be for home theater .

the light dimming issue, is happening with every base when I turn up  volume .

each subwoofer is 1000 amps , so potentially , 4000 watts can be drawn  just by the amps . While the 15 amp circuit can provide max 1800 watts. ( I’m better off to use a 20 amp circuit just for subs )

now with 3 bench mark at average 300 watts per amp , that’s about 1000 watts just from the 3 benchmark amps —-> , that can stay on the shared 15 amp circuit

the 2 McIntosh 1.2k amp, each can draw 1200 amps ( so definitely a dedicated circuit just for these 2 )

@impaler you do not think this could be a fire hazard as I will be potentially pulling 4000 watts from subs , 2400 watts on AMP 1 and 2 and 1000 from other amps ?

A 15 amp outlet can only cover up to 1800 watts max . How is it okay to draw 5000+  watts  from 3 outlets that are interconnected to one 15 amp breaker ?

Hello all,

I had the power company stopping by today . Checked transformer and feed. All is good. Next is for an electrician to install at least two 20 amp circuits

i will update this thread this weekend , whether issue is resolved or not .

@mickeyb  thanks!  Yes I have some one installing 4 dedicated 20 amp circuits .

AI says :

Connecting two 20 amp circuits to the same leg of a power source is not recommended as it can overload that single leg, potentially causing issues like uneven power distribution, tripped breakers, and potential damage to your electrical system; it's best to spread the load across both legs of the power supply by connecting circuits to different legs whenever possible

@speelerr have you checked the specs of my beefy 1.2k amps ? At 4 ohm, turning up these amps can cause issues. Literally every person I spoke with , recommends a single 20 amp circuit per amp, now I’m being cheap and will put both amps on a single 20 amp circuit per. 
 

that , and 3 other mono blocks pulling 380 watts for home theater , and all that jazz 

Check this out , same was happening to me

will it all work on a single 15 amp circuit ? YES it will , on very low volume,  that’s not ideal , and yes I want to be able connect a blow dryer if I needed to… you get the idea my EE friend :)

Spoke with a friend who is an MIT graduate. And we agreed , based on the power and the amps of 1.2k amps, we need to have each amp its own dedicated 20 amp circuit .( the benchmark amps can be connected to the same circuit )

subwoofers will share , two 20 amp circuits or one 20 amp circuit.

rest can be connected to a regular 15 amp circuit.

for those who suggested , minimum three 20 amp circuit for this equipment .. congratulations, you nailed it .
