RE: budget PC for powered subwoofer?

The reason for my comment is in regards to a large gauge silver plated DIY mil-spec power cord, not the effective gauge in and of itself. Of coarse, a large gauge power cord tends to be very beneficial for a high-current application such as a subwoofer. It's the type of conductor which presents even greater unnatural tonal bloom as the gauge of the silver plated mil-spec conductor increases, in my experience.

For the record, the VH Audio Flavor 4 features two 12 AWG unplated/bare copper conductors per pole (L & N), wired via a self-shielding star quad geometry for a 9 AWG aggregate/effective gauge power cord. The Flavor 4 provides a very solid bottom end with excellent dynamics for a high-current application. You should build one for yourself instead of championing silver plated mil-spec wire for a DIY power cord project in the forum.

It's remarkable that you tend to protest so vehemently against the use of silver for audio applications, but seem to enjoy a wire that presents a very silver-sounding sonic signature.
