Dedicated 20 Amp Line for Audio

A note on 10awg romex.  Yes, the wire is extremely stiff and you may not be able to install it.  You CANNOT fold this wire when pushing the outlet back into the box.  It is just too stiff.  When I did mine, I had to run the Romex straight through the wall from behind into the junction box and then "square bend" one wire at right angles so that there's enough space.  A 12awg romex would definitely be much easier to handle.

If you have the room in your wall you can use a deeper outlet box to make the job easier.

lancelock - Looks intersting (and expensive). I will contact Well pleased Audio on Monday and check it out.

auxinput - invalid: I was starting to think #10 was the ticket, but you’re right #12 with it’s better flexability should be sufficient. Or possibly the product lancelock recommends above?

If I’m only running one line (most recommended way to do it here) I will need less than 50’

I would like to add that I did run 2ga wire to a sub-panel as close as possible to my listening room. This enabled me to run the quality Giga cable a much shorter distance and then the size doesn't matter as much. Ohms law, shorter distance means less resistance.

Audio Sensibility in Canada does sell cryo-treated 12awg romex:

It's in CAD currency, so 1.90 CAD is $1.50 USD (per foot for the 12awg romex).

Again, how do you know all this stuff!

This is perfect, as I work in Canada (getting paid in Dollarettes) so I can ship it to my office there and just bring it across the border myself and hopefully save a bunch on shipping.

The electrician will be on-site very soon and I will see how much  we need before I order it.

Thanks again for all your help!
