No need to repeat myself about being very happy with the Bose L1.

However, I had to call them yesterday after securing a contract to play at a country club restaurant. The nearest AC outlet to where they want me to set up is about 40 feet if you follow the wallboard around a corner.

I have never used more than twenty five feet extension of 14 gauge wire. The restaurant says they have an extension...but you know how that goes. I don't need any more surprises at restaurant gigs. So I talked to Gary D, he said he wouldn't go with less than 12 gauge wire.

A call to Bose Support confirmed Gary's recommendation. They said I might be able to get away with 14 gauge...but better safe than sorry. So off to Home Depot and got 50' of 12 gauge. It was only available in lengths of 25, 50 and 100 feet.

Since I am using the Bose L1 almost exclusively, I don't know if this would apply to all you guys using Logitecs, Mackies, Barbettas, Rolands, EVs, JBLs etc.

Years ago I blew a Peavy amp on a job and swore never to put my gear at risk like that again.
