How should I power all of this on 3 sep 20 amp lines?

[eclypse]

So I bought a new pair of xpa-1Ls and there on there way this Monday and I just realized I may have a problem powering it all?

Currently I have 3 seperate 20 amp lines in the room and a single cmx-2.

Here's the layout atm.

(1 20amp line) APC H15 power conditioner with this all plugged into it:

Sony 75" 940c uhd tv
Denon x4200w reciever
Oppo 103 going to sell I think
Samsung 8500 blu ray player
Emotiva stealth dc-1
PS4
Nvidia shield

(1 20 amp line)

Cmx-2 with xpa-2

(1 20 amp line)

Xpa-3

Subwoofer on a sep outlet

I did just place an order for another cmx-2 with the idea that I'd run ea cmx-2 with 2 amps connected to it.. then stsrted thinking too much wondering if that's even safe.

Also note that ea 20 amp outlet I have a 30amp breaker for and am using 10 gadge wire.

Also I'm seriously thinking it might be time to replace the xpa-2 and 3 with either a xpa-5 or 7. That will help save space and help with power outlets.

Advice please!

You won't have any problem powering them. Stick them on the XPA-3 line or the XPA-2 line.

Sweet! Good to hear.

I would sit down and think this thru. Keep digital and high-power stuff on exclusive lines.
I'm not alone in saying that power conditioners 'suck the life' out of amps. Careful there, too.

You will ONLY have problems when pushed. If you are just loafing along, probably any combination will work.
It gets a little more complicated if you have a certain amp connected to the main/fronts where their will be more power needed.
OR if you have some crazy bad load speakers of Very Low sensitivity and big phase angles.

ME? I'd go get a Kill-A-Watt meter. They are CHEAP at <25$ and will allow you to see voltage drop and actual power used in
both VA and WATTS.
It'll take some time going thru all the tests, but in the END? You'll have the best combination of isolation and available power.

I do have 2 kill-a-watts I can use.

I already have the amps on different lines other then ecerything else. The only new change resently is adding 4 channels to the new Denon reciever to power the ceiling atmos and surround channels.

The Denon is runing off the power conditioner. Figure the surrounds don't use much power.

When the new amps come I'll have 2 amps connected to ea cmx-2 (2) and into 2 different lines.

Sounds like you got it covered.

I have five 1Ls and two dedicated 20-amp lines. Three amps on one line; the other two amps on the other line. Everything else is plugged into a PS Audio Dectet which is plugged into the line with the two amps. Based on my setup and my VERY large room you'll won't have any problems whatsoever regardless of how you are hooked up or how loud you like to listen. IMO.

I don't know exactly which channels your amps will power, but I'd do...

20A #1 -- CMX-2 => XPA-2 + XPA-1L
20A #2 -- CMX-2 => XPA-3 + XPA-1L
