[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 59895, member: 445"] Re: PA System Power - Overloading Circuits Put each of those amps on it's own circuit within the same leg and ease your worries. Or, if you are going Stereo 3 way: put the mids and highs on one circuit and the subs on it's own. It's cheaper than a purchasing a power distro and less liability. You should need to know where the circuits are located amongst the outlets and be certain that just because you are using two different outlets that they are indeed not on the same circuit. Fortunately those amps have a power switching supply and (someone correct me if I'm incorrect) they are built to perform based on the power they receive. These days I only carry a volt-ohm meter to check the amount of wall power and one of those little simple circuit testers that quickly show the wiring of the outlet. I would love to have one of those circuit sniffers for finding circuits but haven't gotten that far yet. [/QUOTE]
