    What size is the box (It should say inside)?

    Then get back to us for a calculation

    Look inside the box. Some have max conductors marked on the inside back. A 2 gang box should allow more than 5 14 conductors

    One thing, once you find the max amount of conductors stamped inside plastic boxes, you must deduct two conductors for each device to arrive at the net max amount allowed.
