Well, fine if you think you need them but...Probable worst case scenario? 200W into 4 Ohms, 7 amps rms, in practice a lot less because the amp will not be at full chat 100% of the time.

More realistically 100W 4 Ohms, 5A rms. Much less for higher speaker impedances and lower amp power.

Orange garden mech' cable is rated at 6A iirc and is more than adequate for anything you can lift. 

Can't be arsed to look but I am pretty sure that 7A is above jack rating? Do yours get hot?

1/4" jacks are rated for 6A.

Standard 6A 2-core power cable is ideal - at guitar amp power levels you won't need anything more or be able to tell any difference. Anything much bigger gets hard to get into the plugs anyway.

Use Neutrik NP2C or X plugs only if you can - they're better for speaker connections because they have no internal rivetted connections like other designs do, and a better cable grip.

I use old electrical cable because it is cheap and works fine.

Are you the bugger who stole my old electrical cable?

Not unless you left it attached to a vacuum cleaner in a skip in Edinburgh about ten years ago .

I dig a bit of lawnmower  cable for that tasty orange vibe!
