As far as the amps go,it depends on how power hungry each of them are. --Maybe a line for each? In any case no more than 2 per line. Check your amp specs.--looking for maximum current draw.A 15 amp line can supply 1875 watts;but one would never ask more than 1200/1400;--need that headroom.Your tv--What kind?? CRT projector--?? It's own line. LCD projector--?? you could run 4 on the same line--(My way of saying they don't need nearly as much)--RPTV--??--Typically no more than 400,draw. Those are the "power hogs". Also, their location has to be factored in. A projector would need the line at the rear. A RPTV--at the front of the room. Lastly; a line for dig.--a line for analog for the front end. Maybe one exta line for future needs-- "headroom"--??
How many dedicated circuits to run HT/2ch system..
My electrician is just about ready to start the rough-in on my new house. After at least 18 months of delays (don't ask), my dream project is almost getting started.
I know that the bedrock of a great rig is the electrical service to the system. My question is, how many dedicated circuits and at what amperages?
I think I need to prepare for at least this number of components:
4 amps (I'm guessing this would be max at any one time)
preamp
processor
CD
DVD-SACD
TV
SAT
Knowing myself, there could be as many as 3 or 4 more devices thrown in from time to time.
HELP!!!
Thanks, March
