I'm planning to build a home movie theater in the next few years.
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction when it comes to powering my equipment -
i have about 15,000 watts of audio equipment alone and im trying to figure out how much amperage this room will actually need dedicated to it.
when i calculate the amperage of just my subwoofer according to the way one website says it should be calculated i come up with this:
Amperage = wattage ÷ voltage.
so being that my sub woofer peaks (it also says to calculate based on peak and not continuous power ratings) at 5000w and says it is 12v (is it actually?) that would mean 416 amps?!@!? no way!
another website tells me to put 230 as the voltage in this formula.
this would make the total amperage 21.7 amps for just the single subwoofer.
I'm very lost and ive spent some time researching this now and i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?
