ground connection on dedicated line?


I'm planning to install two 20A dedicated lines for my system and I'm wondering if the isolated ground on the receptacles should be connected to the general house ground, or to an independent ground. Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated.

Thanks much,

An isolated ground requires using separate isolated grounding rod(s). Basically what you need to do is disconnect the existing ground lead from your receptacles, and then run a 2 guage (or thick as possible) copper braided wire from the receptacle ground to your newly installed grounding rods...totally isolated from your main house ground. A must for anyone willing to take the extra steps to get the best performance from their system. Doing this will only make your system sound better.
