Hello Stan,

I admit that my tastes in ICE are modest but I do have electrical knowledge.

If it's an "active" speaker then that means it has a built-in amplifier. I would expect this to have two connections: 12v DC power supply and low level audio input.

The 12v supply will need to carry the maximum current drawn by the amplifier. The spec. should state this and it is not 900 watts!

Can you give me a link to the equipment you've bought?

For the audio input just use any high quality screened cable and connectors.

I don't know why AWG was quoted because this is the UK and we don't traditionally use American Wire Gauge.

I hope that clarifies rather than clouds the issue!

Simon
