Which plug to use for Sub?

[The_Lhc]

I'm thinking of getting a sub, but I'm not sure where to plug it into, regarding power.

Currently all my gear is connected to a double-gang socket, with the Amp in one socket and a Tacima in the other that has everything else plugged into it, EXCEPT the screen for my KRP-500a, that is using one socket of another double-gang outlet that currently has nothing else plugged into it.

If I get a sub, it's probably going to have to be plugged into the other socket of the outlet that the TV is connected to. Is this likely to cause any issues for the TV or, given that both outlets are connected to the same circuit anyway, does it make a blind bit of difference?

The sub will probably only be a REL T3, with a 150W amp in it, so nothing massively powerful.

Does you amp have a switched A/C out socket? If so plug it into that so that when you switch on the amp, the sub powers up at the same time.

Out here in Spain we don't have 'ring mains' like they do in the UK. All of my home cinema gear is run from two sockets on the same 16amp breaker through 3 separate multi socket leads. This supply also feeds my air conditioning. I have only ever experienced interference when switching on the fluorescent lights in the kitchen. I have never experienced cross equipment interference between different parts of my system. In short, I don't think it will make any difference.

No difference, it'll be fine. I can appreciate the advice on plugging power amps into the wall and not into items like the Tacima but the REL will be fine next to the TV.
