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.

There are adapters for 20 plugs to 15 amp, though you should tread carefully.
To be absolutely safe, you should have an electician add a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
 2400 watts is not something to be complacent with.
More to discover
