Default Multiple Circuits for Home Theater?

m...

I am finishing my basement and am currently planning the electrical.


Should I have 3 separate 20 amp circuits for my RPTV, components, and
sub or should they all be on the same circuit?


That would depend on your anticipated current drains. Without knowing he
scale of your proposed setup, that is difficult. Typically, a 20 amp
circuit could handle the whole enchilada, but if you were building a really
heroic setup, it might not.

OTOH, electrical work is relatively cheap and easy for new construction, and
far more difficult and expensive to retrofit.

[Note that I do plan to put these circuits on the opposite leg from my
lighting (on dimmers)]


Good idea.
