Yeppers,
Beats bare wire shoved in the hole, I'll have to
pick them up and redo my Amp Rack.
In regard to extension cords, the band that I'm
in had an outside gig this past weekend.
The stage was in a parking lot 40 feet from a law office.
We picked up four 50 foot 10/3 yellow with a black line
extension cords from Home Depot. About $50.00 each.
The office had four dedicated outlets, 20 amps each.
We ran the four cords from each outlet to the stage.
One cord Backline, one FOH, one for Amp rack,
and one cord for Monitor Amps.
We played 4 hours, no problems and cords cool.
Also no hums or noises from FOH,Backline or Monitors.
I got lucky, I was going to tie the Grounds together
as in the Cheap Distro, but just did not get the time.
Still $200.00 for extension cords is not cheap!
I also bought 50 feet of Carol, SJOOW 10/3 bulk "black"
wire for $1.07 a foot at Home Depot.
From that I made two 25' drop Quad boxes,
with Hubbell compression fittings (on the metal quad box)
that I got at Grainger.
They turned out nice, but two 25 foot Quads cost me about $120.00.
We'll use the two Quads as stage drops in the future.
Later,
Bud
