I recently moved my home theater into the living room but I had a small problem. None of the outlets in the living room nor in the dinning room had 3 prong outlets. Only the bedrooms have them so I tried the closest room and none of them have a ground because the wire fault light would turn on on my powerstrip. I than tried my old room and I found one with a ground but its far so I would have to run a extension cord. Now if I run a heavy duty 14 gauge extension cable to the powerstrip would the powerstrip still do its job as far protecting my equipment from power surges and other harm? The fault wire light stays off. Two will everything still get enough power having to run an extention cord instead of plugging it straight to an outlet? I'm thinking a heaving duty extension cable and a Monster Bar Powerstrip should do fine but I don't know much about this kind of stuff. Thanks guys.
