Hi, first post here. I had to remove the a/c ducts from my attic, so now's the time to get some wall work done. I'm already installing media outlets and wall cabling in all the rooms - 2 coaxial and 2 cat-6 - in flexible pvc conduit.
While I'm at it, I want to run 4 dedicated circuits to a living room wall for future home theater. But I'm not sure if I have enough room. I have about 6 ft of wall to work with. So I'm wondering how close the power cables can be in the wall - without generating any kind of EMI or other interference issues with amps, subwoofers, etc. Is that even an issue, as long as my grounding is good? I will also have 2 runs of the media cables (in pvc) in that wall to contend with. That would be 6 total cable runs in that wall. I just don't want to go through all the work, only to have the benefits cancelled out by having too many cables cramped together. I could cut it down to 3 dedicated circuits if I need to.
Ideally, to really save space, I would like for 2 circuits to share a 2-gang outlet box. They wouldn't share any cabling. But the cables would run down the wall just a few inches apart - and enter opposite sides of the 2-gang box. Is that a good solution?
Thanks! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
