[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 407528, member: 550915"] It will come in time. I've only been home from deployment for 3 days. I was just using the number you gave. I can't be bothered to waste my time to look up the rating of Romex. Voltage ratings mean precisely squat. Current ratings are what matter. You said 1800W @ 120V that is 12A. 12A @ 1 ohm is 144W. Your numbers. Romex sucks as speaker wire. It is used to carry house current because it is cheap, fidelity of the 60 Hz AC is not a factor and it doesn't need to be flexible. Do you know anything about anything even related to audio? Physics? Life? Once again showing that you know nothing about electricity. Current and voltage are two totally different things. Current melts wire, trips breakers, runs speakers. Voltage is the potential to create current across a load. Resistance of the human body is pretty high. Need a lot of voltage to create enough current to shock a person. Wall socket has that voltage, amp output generally doesn't. It's called Physics, look it up. And yes multistrand OFC (lamp cord is not OFC if you even know what that means) is better than the wire that carries electricity through my house (also not OFC) for the transmission of fidelity audio signals. My facts are quite straight. My that's especially childish, even for you. And see here is where you lost it all. We have facts, and all of our comments have been based in facts. It is you that have no facts so we would not expect anything coming from you to be based on them. Why start now? [/QUOTE]
