I would use 10ga wire, it doesn't cost much more and can't hurt. I would have him run two while he was at it. The better plugs are worth it, I would skip the protection circuit. Look at the Oyaide outlets, I would use them if I was doing mine now, will switch to them eventually. It does make a difference.
Dedicated circuit to the sound system
Well, not exactly about cables..but close. A friend of mine is an electrician and I'm looking at having him run a dedicated line to the sound system. Is there anything I should suggest to him regarding the wall outlet and wiring to be used? Otherwise I'm sure he'll just go to Lowes and get the standard materials. Are the "high end" electrical wall outlets I've seen on the internet worth the $$...I was just going to use "hospital grade" outlets that have some sort of circuit protection built into them. I guess after this is completed I'll be looking to upgrade the power cords? The wife will be thrilled to hear about this project!
