lets see the power centers........Who has the neatest, who has the biggest fire hazzard. Every time I plug something else in, I check the smoke detectors before I go to bed.

It's not done yet!!!! How about a preview?




When I'm done I don't want to see any wires!!!! They will all be hidden and tucked. The 2" PVC is to run wires. The ACIII head will sit between the DJ centers and the DC8s 4HDs will all be hidden and all wires will be ran out of sight!

It's a 5'X10' wetroom that I built in the garage. Completely sealed from the house. If life doesn't hit me with another brick, I'll likely post a build thread in a couple months

Thanks BTW!

Here is a pic of the conception. You can see how I altered the build when I got going to ensure I couldn't see any wires


OK, sorry, I took the thread off track... Now back to power centers

Thanks. And actually the first tank is 21' (39' pipe run) away. it goes under the house and into the garage. It took an experienced plumber to help get the drains constant and with out surging using two vents. the second tank is about 30', but backs up against the garage wall so it was easy.

here are pics of the original......

14 sockets, 3 of which on timers and the rest with individual toggles. Every line appropriatey fused for the load demand. Supplied by a 30 amp breaker in the house main

i need to take pics of the new one. The new improved one has individual breakers for each line and indicator lights for each socket. I havent hooked it up yet. My father just FINALLY finished it. One of my tanks has been set up with dj power strips for the last year waiting.
