I have a similar situation, and I just want to make sure.

I installed a Plasma TV, I wall mounted it and ran the wires into a storage area behind the wall the TV is on that I have full access to. There is an outlet directly below the TV that I also have access to from behind. I considered just putting a blank plate on this outlet and turning to face inside the closet, but I prefer not to lose the outlet. Basically, I want to tap off of this outlet inside the storage area and face the new outlet/outlet box inside the closet for the all the media components I will use.

I know Plasma can draw a little more juice than the average electrical device, so I want to make sure I am not going to overload the circuit. My electrician put in a good amount of circuits in this area when it was installed so I think I am ok, just want to make sure and see if there is a way to make sure.

So I was going to cut the line from behind the wall, hook up the new outlet in the new box and VOILA I should be good to go correct? Like a Daisy chain essentially correct?

Thank you in advance!
