Electrical and Grounding Needs

Hello,

I have an electrician coming to my house this week. I have two outlets in my basement dedicated to my home theater setup -- but they are both on the same breaker. I ran the wire using 12/2 rather than the usual 14/2 thickness, thinking it would be better. Any thoughts on this? Also, he will be hooking a new sub-panel as I have run out of breaker slots, does anyone know of any special grounding considerations I should have the electrician take into account.

Also I will be using a Richard Gray 400s Power Plant on this line.

Thanks for any help in this matter!

Hi Stehno,

I am finishing my entire basement, so the sub-panel is needed:) Do you know what would be involved in getting an electrician to make the audio circuits on their own ground? Would this be a tedious expensive task on the electricians part?

THANKS!
