Hello Dan
I am not an amp expert, but my father is a master electrician and he has 
taught me  a lot on electrical matters.
IMHO Ac outlets in the shack are like antennas you can never have to many! 
As in antennas there are limiting factors. With antennas you are limited by 
room and money, with AC outlets you are limited by room in the main breaker 
box and money. If you are going to run additional ac outlets in the shack, 
instead of running new branch circuits run a main feed from the main box to 
a sub panel in the shack then run all the shack outlets from the sub panel.
I admit this will be a lot of work and may mean gutting the shack to rewire 
but you will have all the outlets you need in the shack and you do need to 
get the power company to fix the voltage drop problem.

The cheapest and simplest solution to your problem with the amp causing the 
computer to reboot is to turn on the amp first them the computer

Phil, Gary and Richard

Tnx for the info and details. I guess you are confirming what I maybe 
already knew but was looking for a magic pill to fix all the problems.  I 
will unplag the frig just one of the those small what 1 cu fit to keep cold 
drink in the shack.. I am at the far side of the circuit breakers in the 
house. They are on the south wall on my garage and the shack is on the North 
wall on the house so the run is max'ed as well no helping the problem. .. i 
have thought about making a run of a 220 volts line from the brekaer box to 
the shack. i do have a atttic so that woud not really be the hard to do ..

i would like to hear all of your comments as to if that would help and maybe 
i should also runa  110 volt separate line while doing i to allow a house 
separate 110 line for the shack...

Thanks again ffor the ideas ans info... any more just send them this way <g>
Dan
