Panamax 5500 - not enough high current outlets

cnjvh

So I picked up a 5500 EX and found that it only has 2 high current outlets. I have what I would consider to be 4 high current devices - 2 SVS PB10's, a Denon 3805, and a Hitachi CRT RP HDTV.

What's the right way to do this? I could connect the 2 subs into 1 power strip and the TV and receiver into another power strip and connect the power strips into the high current outlets. I know this would void the Panamax equipment warranty but I'm more concerned about the effect this would have on the conditioning benefits?

Anyone else faced a similar issue with this unit?

Thanks!

The TV will benefit the most from the PC IMO. Just protect the SVS's from surge & EMI/RFI. Using a PC can limit the amount of current they recieve / need.

My Panamax says NOT to plug surge protectors or power strips into it, so I would skip that idea. The Panamax is also rated 15amps max, and if you plug both subs, TV, and your reciever into it, it may overload it.

TV's, even large ones, are not high current devices, so plug that into one of the other outlets, plug the reciever into a high current outlet, and plug the subs dirctly nto the wall.

i don't connect my subwoofer to a power strip. i plug it directly into the wall outlet. bypass the power strip for your subs, they may draw to much power and make the other components connected to the strip.. blink of flash or something bad.

Go subs straight into the wall.

OK, thanks for the input everyone. Sounds like the subs are going back to the wall outlets.
