[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 1074860, member: 60"] Safety first, a Lapp 100 CY 3 with 2.5mm (squared) conductors will already give plenty current capability and added material/fire hazard safety benefit over a speaker cable. (insulator may be chosen for sonic reasons not fire hazard safety reasons) Be warned this one is not very flexible and outside braid shield a bugger to get finished off with earth lead. This can be bought from RS electronics only on 50M rolls. I still have plenty on my roll. The Supra Lorad CS 2.5 and variants are much better suited for power cables being much more flexible and conductive plastic is used with shield so less hassle to terminate shield. I have a Viborg Schuko that I tried recently and is doesn't look too bad, the Supra's are also very nice. Perhaps safe yourself the hassle and buy a ready made cable? Set a budget target per meter and find best cable (normally thickest). [/QUOTE]
