wire guage to feed BASSCUBE?

Post by Blad09 »

What size wire is everyone using to power the basscube. I've got 16ga. right now with a 3 amp fuse... is that sufficient?

Probably much more than enough! I am using very thin single stand power style wire , easy to route, takes minimal space. I have felt the cable for heat build up and have not noticed any...Have you read both manuals? there is no specs on this in either manual

they are not current dependant pieces. As long as they are properly fused you have nothig to worry about. Sounds like you are fine.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

actually phoenix gold recommends using 16 gauge wire for all of their signal processors so yes your right on target, but i wouldnt go any smaller than what is recommended.
