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?

Look where the IEC is on the amp and it will tell you its AC power consumption in watts. To put that number into amps do this easy math: Power in watts divided by 120 = power in amps. Also like Jim said If you have a 15A IEC you'll have vetrical blades whereas a 20A IEC has horizontal blades. Most have 15A.
