Question for the guru's again.
Do you all think that one 20 amp circuit will be able to handle:
7 Outlaw 2200 monoblocks (7 X 200 Watt) How about 9 or 11 of them.

2 Outlaw The LFM-1 EX (350w / 1300w peak)

1 Onkyo 282 (2 X 100w)

Unfortunately, I’m a seriously wishing I had taken some electronics class's for my Computer science degree. Seems like this electricity thing keeps haunting me.

Seems like your gonna need another circuit. Just with your first two items your at 2100 watts without the LFM's even peaking. Your supposed to be somewhere between 75 to 85% of what the circuit can handle. I would run another circuit and put the monoblocks on their own. Im no expert with your equipment im basing this on the info your providing about their wattage and if they are being utilized at that capacity.

IT will be fine.
I have an Outlaw 7x200 watt amp. It only draws a lot of current when you turn it on.
With that, a receiver, sat dish, 2 sub 500 watt amps, dvd, rack monitor, OTA HD recorder, and various wall warts and power monitor,
At loud levels I've never had my circuit amperage draw go over 4 amps.
When I turn the amp on it spikes to 10.
Since your room is drywalled now give it a test drive. If you are really concerned pull in another run of romex for future use if you can get access.
Just be sure you don't turn your whole stack on at once.

Cool, sounds good!
I still have that 2nd 20 amp down there but wanted to dedicate all of the hardware to it like the PS3, Prepro, HTPC, DVR, cable,and whatever crazy things I'll end up throwing on it.
