They probally put 2 20A breakers in, this is new code, there has to be at least 2 15A services or 1 20A(depending on the size of the room), anytime they change out breakers, they have to bring the rest of the existing circut up to code......
well at least here in RI anyway...

No, this was under the rug.

He actually just removed the breaker box & wired around it.

Gotcha!

Good lord dude, that's a lot of stuff plugged in!
But if you think that's bad, 99% of the Club gigs that I do with my system have usually 1 15a service for the band, and I have 2 Crown MA5000vZ's to run (2250 watts/ch @ 2 ohms), I've seen the voltage dip as far down as 85 Volts (in transients, like a Kick Drum hit, or a screaming singer), and they keep right on chuggin' along! Now that's a well made peice of gear! They'll rarely pop breakers once they're up and running, but sometimes getting them going will.

you guys have breakers in your room? that's odd, never saw a single one in all the dorm rooms at my old college.
