Can I use this amp in my house?

I've been looking at a power amplifier that has a 20 amp power cable. The tech specs say its maximum power consumption is 2400 watts. Would I need to have special wiring in the house to run this amp? If so, what would I need?

Thanks very much.

You can use ohm's law. Here is a calculator that shows you will need a 20 amp circuit for peak power with this amp.
