Looking for options as far as adding an outlet behind my TV.
There is an outlet lower down on the wall where the TV is.
There are currently 6 outlets on this circuit
Wiring is BX with grounding straps in the metal boxes.
The outlet in question is in the middle of a circuit so I have 2 sets of wires there already.
What do you think? Is it too much to squeeze 3 sets AND a receptacle into that metal box? Is it even a good idea? Is it even allowed to bring new 12/3 into a box like that?
Thank You
