I have an old house that needs wiring work done. As I balance the load on existing circuits, I will also be adding and rewiring circuits for the A/V room.<BR><BR>Power demands:<BR>amp - max draw 1800 watts<BR>PLC, DVD, CD, preamp - no idea, 50 watts? (I haven''t looked)<BR>sub - haven''t looked (150 watt REL Storm III), 300 watts???<BR>TV - upgrading to a ~30" tube, then 50+" DLP(?) (?watts?)<BR><BR>My first thought was to run a single 20A circuit to the amp (10-2), a 15A circuit to all other electronics, TV, 3 outlets and fan/light, and a 15A circuit to the sub. Maybe I should wire the 3 extra outlets or the room''s light to the circuit with the sub?<BR><BR>Aside from hardwiring a dedicated 10 gauge line from the d-panel to each component /idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif, what would be the ideal way to divide the circuit load?<BR><BR>Thanks.
