Power amps keep blowing

Leear,

Ok, I'm going to put some of this stuff together. Earlier today I looked at my outlet strips and I have two good ones without circuit breakers ( At least I think they don't have a breaker; they have an off/ on switch ).

I'm going to print this thread out and draw up some diagrams and see if I can make this work. I'll keep in touch.

Thanks again for all of you help.

I honestly don't know what regualr extension cords are made of. I've never cut mine up... LOL... maybe i should to learn.
Stranded.
The reasons that stranded wire is used for non-permanent applications (like extension cords) is that it is much more flexible, and is more tolerant of being repeatedly flexed. Solid wire would fail much more rapidly if it was repeatedly coiled, uncoiled, stepped on, etc.

The disadvantage it that stranded is more expensive than solid.
