No, don't use a sub panel. I used 10 ga. years ago when I had my dedicated room, it is a bear to use. The best connection would be the screw. Use needle nose pliers to make a 3/4 loop and do not use spade connectors. Buy the best outlets you can. If you don't want to use audiophile duplexes, I recommend Porter Ports. These are sold on AudiogoN by Albert Porter and are cryo treated Hubble hospital grade.
Dedicated 20 amp lines/should i use a sub panel
Happy New Year to all!!
I am about to install 3 - 20 amp dedicated lines for my stereo. I still have space in my 200 amp main panel but was wondering if their is any benefit to installing a 60 amp sub panel for the 3 audio circuits , also as i am using 10 gauge wire and its not the easiest to manipulate should i hook up the bare wire to the receptacles looped around the screws or inserted in the holes or should i use spade connection's. any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Chris
