Extension cord for subwoofer

[Patrick Kennedy]

Is it possible to add a extension cord to a subwoofer? If yes, what kind of cord do i need? What spec?

Again thank you for the help.

Look for a good heavy duty cord that matches the needs of the amp

Also, try to find one that is not much longer than necessary so as to avoid coiling.

And having to replace it with a longer one down the road.

That's a common misunderstanding, but the only problem with coiling an AC cord is overheating if the cord is overloaded.

My only point was to avoid the spaghetti monster inherent in having too much cord.

Good point!
Actually a low end-to-end resistance of the Safety Ground wire may help lower the sub-woofer background noise.

Is it safe to plug a subwoofer directly in the electrical outlet without a power bar?

 

[ryanosaur]

Yes.

If you use a 12 gauge extension cord, it will be the same or better gauge as in your wall. No issues.
