franzbassist Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Dave made this for me a few weeks ago but as I'm selling the Crown power amp I bought it for I no longer have need of it 1 metre long, made of Klotz 4 sq mm cable with speakons either end, wired for use with BRIDGED power amps. [b]£15, posted 1st class.[/b] Thanks Gareth Edited May 6, 2010 by walbassist
chriswilliams666 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Excuse my ignorance mate. What is the difference between a normal power amp/bass head compared to a bridged power amp? [quote name='walbassist' post='833169' date='May 10 2010, 04:02 PM']bump[/quote]

This requires a speaker cable specially wired for the job.

For those of a technical nature, this cable is wired 1+/2+ on a speakon cable.
