I have a 100 Amp sub-panel for my audio only, panel location in the middle of the back wall. The wiring for the 120 VAC 20 receptacles is 6 gauge ran in rigid conduit. The wire runs are only around 7 feet, ran into the larger metal mount boxes, and pigtailed there to 10 gauge, which will easily fit into any better quality outlet. My electrician, (the Father in Law), is a Electrical Contractor, isn't into audio, and thinks that we are ALL crazy! I didn't ask him if the FIM had the space required for an 8 gauge wire, though it may. You may want to contact FIM engineering and ask them.
Why did I use 6 gauge? Like I said, the Father in Law is a contractor, specializing in heavy industrial/commercial. It's kind of fun snooping around the warehouse ...
If you use the larger mount boxes, you can "pig tail" down to the size that WILL fit. A BandAid? Maybe, but it sure works better than the 12/3 that it replaced. The addition of the better quality receptacles is well worth the money. Choose wisely.
