Ever popped a circuit breaker with audio gear?


Just curious if many people have ever popped their circuit breakers with their audio setup.

I always hear about the amount of power drawn but don't recall ever popping a breaker. For kicks I tried a Monster cable power conditioner as a demo which had a built in amp meter. I hooked everything into it and don't think I ever got above 8 amps...in a larger HT setup.

I have. More than once. Such is life when using low sensitivity, low impedance speakers and you're trying to reproduce Motorhead at concert level. Sent a 1200 wpc amplifier into thermal shutdown a couple of times too : ) Sean
