problems already - too many Watts.

[jgutka]

when i built my home theatre room i had a dedicated 12/3 wire with a single pull 20amp deddicated breaker installed for my home theatre system. (ready for 240 if needed)

problem the other day is that my monster 5100 blew out when i had a small party (buzzing). its only been hooked up for 120v (which i think only handles 120v). notihng was different from when i always use it. i noticed that the power filter only handles up to 15amps in which now i would liek sometihng more beefier. im guessing i should find a filter that can handle 240v with a dual pull 20amp breaker so id be close to 4800watts??

reason:

obviously im running alot of watts, but im not even running my surround sound and subs yet??? which im wondering why the 5100 blew??? i no it wasnt from a power surge as none of my other power units failed in the house and it was a clear night. im guessing my furnace kicked in or something causing the volts to drop below the allowance causing the 5100 to fail.


the amp im using is a cerwin vega cv2800 which puts out 600 watts rms a channel @ 8 0hms in which its hooked up. and the speakers are the cls215 cerwin vegas and apparantly say they rms @ 250 - 300, but i can easily pull 13 amps @ 117v with them so go figure (1500watts peak, just power amp) and have peaked @ 16 amps on the power filter at one time with everything.

when i get the surround sound amp, emotiva xpa-5 which needs another 1000 watts rms, and yes the 7.2 surround speakers and center channel handle the full rms amount, and the subs (2 x cls-15s subs, 350watts each) im going to be in big trouble with this filter!!


i need help on how this should be hooked up for power and a filter!?!?!


what power conditioner and or voltage stabilizer would i require. all in all, ill be running about 4000 - 4500 watts with my surround, front speakers, subs, projector, and other components obviously all maxed out (in which i like to do sometimes). does this not mean id need a dual pull 20amp breaker and utilize my 240volts with a 240v 20amp recepticle so i could handle up to 4800 watts, into a conditioner that can handle this??



PLEASE HELP IM WITHOUT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW!!
