Keep in mind, it's alot easier (and cheaper!) to run an extra dedicated line or two now than to add one later. If you're still at the rough-in stage, go big early! Ask the electrician to run 10 gauge wire for the amps.
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
