Bob,

Don't know if it's been discussed yet.......but, you need to make darn sure that when you wire this building that you have ample power available to run those amps. And we're not talking 15 amp circuits here. You will need several high amperage circuits to make sure there is enough power to keep from throwing circuit breakers.

That's one place not to scrimp.

Just FYI if you haven't already addressed it.

No doubt guys these amps are ridiculously hungry! Luckily I have a 600v @ 400 amp coming into the building.. I have a 200amp panel dedicated just to the DJ booth/amps rack..
