Thanks everyone, i appreciate the info. i guess ill forget about the sub panel as it seems like there is little to no benefit by adding it since the 3 runs will all be under 50 feet and i'm not going with an Equi=Tech as much as i would love too.
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

Audio Advisor has excellent Solid Copper gold plated 20 amp for $100 each , or their phosphor bronze gold plated 20 amp $50 night and day better then anything Hubble makes and the best buy in top quality outlets built to last and grips great. Look at the resistance index ,cheap home units zinc , brass , bronze 4x better conductivity , Copper 5 x .for the money the gold phosphor bronze are fantastic . I am rebuilding my line conditioner with the exact one . You want great sounding cable inside your wall, Analysis plus sells The best Audio cable by far that runs inside your wall a awg11 I believe you may pay 4 times as much as Home Depot crap but you will hear the diffference without question !! |
noromance said:The DIY 4 duplex plate appears to be stainless steel. It may or may not have ferrous materials in it. It depends on the grade quality of the stainless steel. You can use a magnet to check it. If the magnet sticks to the plate like glue or is attracted to the plate replace it with a non breakable nylon plate. Change that single receptacle steel cover plate if that is the outlet that’s feeds the DIY power distributor. Jim |
