Basic Question about Power Cables


Hi,

So I was thinking of changing out the stock power cable on my amp and one cable I was looking at said not to run more than 15amps through the cable. I'm not entirely sure how to approach that. How do I find from the specifications of my amp whether or not it violates that?

The above all assumes you're in the US with 120V supply. If you're elsewhere with a different mains voltage, make sure you use that figure for any calculations.

That said, your amp is unlikely to draw anywhere near 15amp; that would be 1800 Watts, assuming a 120V mains voltage.
