DIY Outlet Box-Help with wire choices

I am building an outlet extension box which will use 2 Shunyata outlets and a furutech IEC inlet, all put inside a nice aluminum box. I will be plugging this into my Shunyata Hydra4 to extend the amount of outlets for the system.

I am looking for suggestions on 12 gauge solid core wire (copper or silver) to use internally. Can someone steer me to the correct web site and offer their thoughts?

Hi Stereo5.Silver is the way to go & see if you can get 12gauge stranded, much easier to work with. Good Luck

I agree with Willie, get some DH Labs Power Plus, great affordable cable.

Is it possible to acquire the same wire that Shunyata uses?
This would provide a consistancy, since you are essentially "daisy-chaining" from your Hydra4, at least that is how I understand your question.

I agree with Elizabeth. I have had many, many power cords including Shunyata.
The Mil spec silver plated 12 gauge teflon coated 600V wire is great. That's what I am using in my DIY distribution boxes, check out my system pictures.

Slightly off topic, but can someone recommend a good source for the aluminum box to house the outlets?
