I just finished building a small biamp amp rack. I finished it yesterday replacing a EV P1250 with a CP2200s for HF duties.
I have in the rack:
Dynacord version of the D.C. One
EV CP2200
EV CP4000s
EV CP4000s
Dynacord Cobra amp panel.
I want to add a powercon hook up to my amp rack to make setup easy. The largest system I could every possible use this rack with would be:
4xQRX115
4xPX2181
Most of the time only, one PX2181 a side. Will this draw more than the 20 amps and pop the breaker and I understand this would be the only rack on the circuit?
The reason for doing this is to cut down on extension cord quad box and such. I like to make the system as clean as possible. I was looking for a CP1200 or CP1800 for the HF, but the power draw is only 100 watts difference then the amps I was looking for. Plus for $300 I couldn't pass on a very clean unused amp.
I would used 12 gauge SO junior cable, 300v for the main power
con cable.
Manual says:
CP4000s 1070 watts x2 = 2140
CP2200 600 watts
So that 2740 watts or around 23 amps not including the processor. What are your thoughts?
