Powering cab question

Pages: (1/3) > >>

AlienInferno:

How are most people handling the power for their cab.  I know about the smart strip thing but are most people just running the plug out the back of their cab?  I was thinking about using one of those power sockets like what's on pc power supplies (I know some homemade pin cabs are using these).  Mainly so I could unplug it and not have to worry about a cord laying around.  Any thoughts on those?  Does anyone have a link I could find them at?

Thanks,
Justin

Thanks for the link.  I had no idea what those where called.  I tried several Google searchs and ended up with nothing.

Look for IEC320 and C14 socket....
I use these:  http://www.amazon.com/IEC320-Inlet-Module-Switch-Socket/dp/B0050HH70E/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1319512878&sr=8-5
Doesn't come with fuse... you can get em for $.99 anywhere...

AlienInferno:

Ok.  So if I'm just planning on wireing the smart strips power cord to the socket and use the pc power switch to turn everything on.  Do I need the switched and/or fused socket or would I be ok with just a socket.
