SGTFDA Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I decided to make my own power cords. Anyone else thinking the same? You can buy monster cable (S16-4R-cl ) 16ga wire at http://www.unitedonlineshopping.com Just type monster cable in the search engine. Price is 85 cents a foot for cut lengths. I bought 35 ft. That is a great price. Found the end pieces on ebay for $1.69 listing #130287922151. Do the math. The last monster cable power cord I bought was over $40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well I made 3 cords to start. I like a 4 foot length. The blue monster cable is great. 16 ga. pure copper audio wire with a nice heavy molded covering over the 4 wires. I bought some heavy industrial shrink tube for the outside and used a lighter shrink tube for the inside. :icon_mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regmaglitch Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi Frank, Is there any measurable difference in power delivery between your cords and "storebought" ones? They look mighty stout, and way friendlier than $40 a pop. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I was thinking more sound wise than power delivery. The way I look at it it's all in hearing the target and the best pure copper audio cable can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richs Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Very nice Sarge. If you keep showing off your homemade goods your never going to be able to retire I am going to look into making one myself. Thanks again for the info. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 If you order from the link I would just call and tell them you want the same blue monster cable Frank Augustine bought. The first time the idiots sent me a black 2 lead wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 You ever come across the connectors for the newer GPX series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTFDA Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I would ask one of the MOD guys on the OZ forums where they get them. I'm sure one of the big electronic part outfits here in the states have them. You just need to know what to ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
