Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced
Thanks, all. Unlike many purchases, I’m trying not to overthink this one. Well first of all if you have one try it and see. I doubt you will notice any difference.I agree, which is why (a) I’m not especially interested in doing comparisons and why (b) I only want to know what will work, mechanically. It’s because I *don’t* have one that I’m asking the question. As a P.S. I don't want to overspend because I'm convinced that multiple subs is the direction I'll go, and I may sell this sub and get two others that match. So this is just about the *now*. |
@wlutke @turnbowm If I need a reality check, I’m happy to have one — because it makes this an easy purchase. But look at the Volex page: https://www.volex.com/products/detail/v1625 It says: Wire Gauge 10 Rated Current 7A, 10A, 12A, 13A, 15A What could "Wire Gauge 10" mean except "wire gauge 10 AWG"? |
Thanks, all. Here's the response from REL to my question, FYI: REL: "Thank you for contacting us. You can use an extension cord with your REL subwoofer, though it is important that the extension cord is rated to handle the current draws requires by the subwoofer. The extension cord should at least match the specifications of the stock power cord that is provided with the subwoofer, and these specs are listed below: - 3 conductor (including earth ground) - 18 AWG wire - 300V voltage rating - 105°C temperature rating." |
@a_shah -- your post's style seems inspired by Gertrude Stein. Viz., "We are able to notice that each one in a way carried a bundle, they were not a trouble to them nor were they all bundles as some of them were chickens some of them pheasants some of them sheep and some of them bundles, they were not a trouble to them and then indeed we learned that it was the principal recreation and they were so arranged that they were not given away, and to-day they were given away." |
@ptrck If mine wasn’t class D, I’d probably be much more inclined to buy cords -- as I have with other gear. FWIW, nice new video on how to make a cable by Tarun A British Audiophile: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfVYfC6tmcc |
