You can find a circuit finder kit at home depot or lowes in the electrical tool section they are approx. $30.00. It is a 2 piece tool. It has a plug thingy that you plug into the outlet just as you would a chord end then you go to the circuit panel and wave the wand thingy (slowly) across the breakers the wand thingy lights up and sounds off when you are over the proper breaker. Then I take the sharpie and mark the breaker. This allows me to seperate the power amps so as to not draw to many amps through a circuit thus tripping the breaker. I try to put my tops and subs on different breakers. Also because they are marked you and any bands that come behind you won't have the problem of isolating the circuit breakers. These days when I play a new club I just ask where is your circuit panel!
That's the smartest thing I heard all month..takes the guess work out of the equation as well.
I can't take credit for it. I watched a friend (degree'd engineer) do it. I ain't that smart LOL!
A fool don't learn from others, so you ain't no idiot either.
