[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 56943, member: 211"] Re: L14-30 or CS63## power distro (small to mid sized PA systems) Cascading distros makes a lot of sense. Your smaller systems can be built together into a big system with your own large distro when needed. The fun thing is that once you get above 30 amps, the variety of connectors available gets daunting quickly. My solution is that everything is set up with mini cams. Yes, I have to pay attention to which wires get used for what, but if I run out of 8/4 for an amp rack, I can use my piece of 2/4 without worry. (yeah, that's happened, and it looks wicked impressive with 2/4 SO cable powering your amp rack) If I had connectors rated with the wire gauge, this switchover wouldn't be quite so easy. In my inventory, I've been building cam to whatever power connector adaptors as needed. I've got a half a dozen or so different types now, but that's way easier than tracking down an electrician to tie into a panel. [/QUOTE]
