I'm a newbie to this hobby, on top of having no electrical skills, but I have read lots about this topic and I'm still confused about the best set up. If I want to install two 20 amp outlets, what are the advantages and disadvantages of running one 10 gauge from the main panel to a junction box (or bypassing the junction box altogether and just having both outlets coming off that one 10 gauge wire) that then leads to these two outlets? So both outlets, then, are being shared by that one dedicated circuit? How is this different (better/worse) than installing a subpanel in which that same 10 gauge wire goes from the main to the sub, which then branches off to each of the separate outlets? And if, down the road, I want to put in one or two other outlets, wouldn't all of them basically be run off the same 10 gauge, whether it is in the subpanel or the junction box?
Ideally, I am thinking, each outlet would have its own separate run from the main panel, but I don't know if this is true or not... And since space is limited in the main panel, and the panel is on the opposite side of the house as the stereo room, how critical is this?
