70' is nothing. Run number 10awg romex and forget about it. Not even sure the screws on P&S outlets I used are good for #10 but that's what I did. I know by code and mfr rating, you cannot terminate #8 or larger wire on a 15 or 20 amp receptacle. Then you get into joints and splices and what not and defeat the whole purpose of the dedicated run. Unless you are running some humongus mono block power amps, you will not need more than a 20amp breaker and #10 wire for your whole system.
