Type Plug: 1-15P
Ampere: 7~10
Voltage: 125 V

------------------

In poland we have this as a standard:

Specs:
Type Plug: ?
Ampere: 10~16
Voltage: 250V


In Poland the voltage type is: 220V - 230V


--------------------

How much will cost the filter or something to filter this first plug to connect it to the polish standard?

I need to know the prize.

HELP !

I just wanna know how much will cost some combo. So i will be able to plug this to the combo, and combo will plug to my power contact.

Speaker AC Switch --> Combo --> Polish power contact.

Make sure you get a converter plug down to 120v. If not those speakers will blow up.

For sure, a transformer to step down the voltage from 220V to 120V. Which that is weird becuase we have 220V here, which is really 2-120V lines that the phases are 180 degrees off, so they combine for 220V.

Maybe a 120V power supply would work, then you would just need an adapter from that goofy plug to the other one. Or you could solder some wires on it, cover it in black tape and solder it right in to your strip. Just make sure you have it unplugged before doing that or you will get a WAKE UP tingly feeling :rofl:

Just got a transformer, i paid 9,5 &#036; for it. It down the power from 220V to almost 120V.

Oh yeah, the speakers rocks.

Thaks for helping me some guys. My dad told me about transformer before hehe. But at least you replied and knew what to do. Thanks Grimmy and Slice (Nick too).
