Yep, even 2.5mm2 is better.

Which is why I asked about Powercon 32A inlet on back, instead of captive lead.

Didnt think you could put 2.5mm in a standard 13a plug so guess the cable is 1.5mm.

Seems a bit of an oversight if the amp can pull 32a if driven hard.

There are a lot of power amps fitted with captive leads that are heavier than 1.5mm

Sure Void INF8MK1 Had captive 4mm2 lead.

Proline is 2.5mm2 captive.

I hate putting 32A ceeforms on leads less than 4mm2, even with bootlace ferrule.

Cable is 2.5mm2 30A.  They come with moulded on 13A plugs but i had no problem putting a replacement 13A on after it have been swapped over to a ceeform temporally, its not that hard with 2.5mm2.

Yes, there are plugs that will accept 2.5mm cable, but you do fall foul of BS1363 ( which stipulates a conductor size no larger than 1.5mm) if you care about such things. I'm not sure how BS1363 effects moulded connectors however - hopefully someone else can chime in here, but certainly once cut off the amplifier can only be used with a CEEform connector under the letter of the regulations. Nothing stopping you using a 16-13A jumper however ( made with 1.5mm of course!)

2.5mm 3 core PVC flex is good for 24A ( providing it is actually copper, not copper coated aluminium)

..Have tested that Amp on bass duty at this gig, running 8x 18nlw9601s (+12x Orbit3s, 12 Void Arc6s) -  it does pretty well on Sub.. ;)
32A Plug - my bad, sorry James haha, cheers for the demo unit though!

edit: 2000++ happy punters, about  20x40m floor, pretty well covered, windows at the back of the building, behind the stage, were vibrating violently (had a second gig that day at a venue across the street.. ;) ) to be honest i doubt our K20s would have done much better running those 8 Subs..

It looks like the smaller one. 4x2500 at 4 ohm.
