Budget High Current Power Cords

Bang for buck, what are the best high-current power cords for power amps/sub amps? Seems an obvious question but I haven't found it in the AG archives.

Why be so concerned with high current? Are you using an arc welder? Most speskers only use a few amps of current.

The Cullen Crossover series offers a 12awg and a 10awg for high-current amps. I use a 12 gauge on a 30W tube amp.

I own 4 of his cables, no affiliation.

That chunky Pangea marketed as a high-current 7awg cable will make your system sound like it's covered with a blanket.

@millercarbon that is just a stupid post dude.
Just ignorant. 

Budget high current, why not take 2 or 3 freebie power cords, cut the ends and solder em all into one? Wouldn't that be three times the current? With four or 5 you could get lots of current. How much current are we talking anyway?
