How to move an electrical outlet.

In this video we go through the steps of moving an electrical outlet from side of a wall to another. This method will enable you to add an additional circuit to your space when power is at a premium. We also discuss subwoofer hum and ways to tame it.

I need that! I also need one of those IsoMax transformers, I'm getting a nasty hum from one of my subwoofers that disappears when I use the cheater plug. I was tempted to install a GFCI outlet and continue using the cheater plug, but I don't think it's worth the hassle or the risk.

@@NameUnavailable123 yeah the cheaters are very inexpensive. Sorry I can’t say the same for the hum isolator, but the piece of mind is priceless. Good luck!👍🏾

Ground loops: When devices are plugged into different phases in your electrical panel, slight voltage differences between them can create a current flow through the ground wire, generating a audible hum through your speakers, particularly in sensitive equipment like subwoofers. So it's advisable to keep your dedicated circuit on the same phase. Also, using a high quality shielded subwoofer cable will usually help with hum as well. I typically try to keep ground loop isolators as a last resort.

@@SeanSeebran Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the subject. Yes the isolator were a last resort for me being I didn’t feel comfortable using the ground lifting adapter. I have 23 other devices sharing the same circuit as the subs (including 4external amps) on a 15 amp circuit. Moving the subs to other circuits came with some challenges but luckily there are devices to help overcome them. Thanks again. 💪🏾
