No I meant you take two dual wall sockets and attach an amplifier to one socket on each of the dual wall sockets. I read that doing that you can get a bit more power out of one of the dual sockets than you can if you plug an amp to a single socket wall socket. 

When I said about 8,280 watts I meant combined total for both RMX4050HD amps, meaning 4,140 watts power for each amp is available from each double wall socket when you use only one of the sockets on a double wall socket. Compare that to connecting an amp to a single wall socket and the most you can draw is 2,9990 watts from that socket.

Do you know what would happen if you connect first plug in a socket and accidentally touch the second plug?
Don't do this kind of things please!

That would be one for the Darwin Awards:

LOL LOL LOL


Fortunately, I donĀ“t think he meant that, more that a dual socket (ring main) will have double the cable section connected compared to a simple spur socket.

You and Timebomb both obviously don't understand what i'm saying, I have NO intention of using both sockets on a dual wall socket to power one amplifier. I intend on using ONE side of a dual socket to power one RMX4050HD and then find another dual wall socket and use ONE side of that dual socket too to power another RMX4050HD. Can you understand that now? LOL

Yeah i understand it but you will not be able to draw 18A long term through the 13A fuse,  a 13A fuse will take quite a bit though.

Yes there is quite a tolerance on the humble 13a plug-top peaks maybe over 20a

but long term not to sure tbh

In the UK, the dual sockets Jack is talking about have individual switches for each outlet, so the potential for the scenario you refer to is much less.

Oh yes you will....

A 13amp BS1362 fuse will pass 20amps almost indefinably, the 13amp rating comes from the current that is required for the fuse to dissipate 1watt as this is the maximum permitted power dissipation allowed for the BS 1363 plug.

More info in the link below.

Would I recoment trying to excede 13amps through a BS1363 plug, NO.

I won't need 18A continuously because music is dynamic, plus doesn't an ampliifer like that we use drag more power than needed and then store some of the power in the capacitors for when serious bass is sustained in music?
