My question was about a sub panel on an outbuilding, a grounding rod has to be used here by code as well as the 2 by the service entrance. I know you have to bond the two at the main service, but do you have to bond the one at the sub panel to the 2 at the service entrance?
Dedicated power
I'm looking to run a dedicated 30a and dedicated 20a line to my system directly from the fuse box.
I currently have some florescent lights and some other junk on the line so I'm hoping it will be an improvement. Things sounds like they are straining somewhat when you crank things up. The amp will go on the 30a line and the digital stuff on the 20a.
Anyone done this and saw improvements?

I had to isolate the neutral wires in the sub panel and install a grounding rod, should I connect the grounding rod to the grounding rod on the main panel.Audiogon Discussion Forum Question was answered then by jea48. Starting with the 2008 National Electric Code, the only acceptable way to wire a subpanel is with a four-wire feed. Two hots, one ground, and one neutral wire. The grounds and neutrals must be isolated.
