Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel?
I just installed some dedicated circuits with 10 gauge electrical wire. But now I have to consider replacing my amp power cords because they are 14 gauge or higher.
Is this really necessary and any recommendations on quality 10 gauge power cords that I should buy?
What speakers are you driving with the commercial series Crown amps? As per their own recommendations, they were designed to be used in music halls and live performance studios, not for a homes living room. Also these were supplied with a 30A plug on a 10AWG cable, to meet the commercial requirements of that amp. This whole thing isn't making sense to me. |
@jumia Oops, sorry mistook ditusa's post showing the Crown amp with dedicated 10AWG cable as yours, so was a bit confused. My thought regarding your original question on aftermarket 10AWG cable for your amps - 12AWG cable would be more than adequate. More important is the quality of the cable and connectors. As others here have said - you can build a very good cable, that would be as effective and sound as good or better than some of the high dollar boutique wonders, for a fraction of the money......Jim
