When making DIY power cable for an amp, do you:


Connect all three conductors to the end plugs on both ends of the cable?

I could of swore I read/heard that you connect just the one coming out of the wall (male side). 

Can someone explain?

Mr. Squares is correct. 

Where you heard the ground is only connected on one side might have been interconnects? 

I'm thinking, even old Fender amps that you would "upgrade" a two-prong to a 3-prong, it is expected you would attached the ground wire to the chassis. 

I just can't think of a situation where you would want to build a power cord and not connect the ground at both ends.
