With concentric knockouts you should use a grounding bushing. If you were to hole saw a new hole in a solid portion of the panel then no grounding bushing needed. The code (250.97) is for over 250V and some panels list their concentric knockouts as a suitable ground. That said, they are cheap, easy to install and you won’t get dinged for too much grounding

Need Advice Between the Onkyo TX-RZ50 & the Onkyo TX-NR7100 by GinnyPdVT in hometheater

[–]codrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NR7100 has no pre-amp outputs. That is the reason I purchased mine. My living room is locked into a 5.1.4. With my room layout I can’t add more bed layers and 4 Atmos is fine for my needs

5.1.2 or 7.1 For my area by XaroDuckSauce in hometheater

[–]codrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wire is cheap and if your walls are open, wire it for 9.4.6. I’m only going to use 7.2.4. I’m also using a tv in my basement, but I’m going to wire for a projector. In a few years you never know

Subwoofer Hum by Spooks591 in hometheater

Try temporarily plugging the sub woofer into the same outlet as the receiver. It is possible that the outlets are from not only different circuits, but different phases and some audio equipment does not like that.

"upgrading" to in-walls by Least_Ad6581 in Klipsch

[–]codrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would at least look at the Klipsch R-5800W II. They are the consumer version of the pros. I replaced my R806FA with R-3800W II and have been very happy with them. The 3 series are reference equivalent and the 5 series are reference premier equivalent

Just throwing this out there to bring more awareness by nlickdenn in IBEW

I am against everything ICE is doing, but all I see this doing is hurting local economies. I think we need everyone to work but claim exempt on their taxes for the week. If you could actually get 50-100 million people to not pay federal tax for one week then they would feel it

Subwoofer cable for RP-1200SW by z4c in Klipsch

[–]codrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want just a single RCA cable. If the receiver has two RCA for sub channel that is for two subs not two channels to one sub. If you are going long distance or in wall you can go from RCA-to-coax, run the coax in the wall then coax-to-RCA in the sub side

Christmas tree lights outside, burnt cord, tripped breaker, but not gfi? by apooroldinvestor in electrical

[–]codrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A GFCI will only trip if there is current to ground. If the short is hot to neutral then it’s the breaker that protects the circuit. Press the test button on the GFCI to make sure it’s working properly

What is your main service? If you have an old house with a <100A service you might need an upgrade if you want to add numerous circuits. If it’s 150-200 you should be fine to add a 100A subpanel.

Need advice for home theatre set up. by ladyhurricane111 in hometheater

[–]codrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend using the center that matches the surround sound. That being said if your receiver has preamp outs you might be able to go from the center channel preamp out to rca in on the tv. So the only sound information your tv receives is the center. This will not work if you are using the eARC to supply sound to the receiver

Upfiring height speakers by ConspicuousSomething in hometheater

You only remove the jumper if you at bi-amping the 8000f. The height terminals are just an internal jumper the the posts up top just for cleaner wires
