People have left my "repaired" cords alone. Even found one sitting in a parking lot after it fell off my truck.
The longer the cord, the lower the peak.

Know your requirement and realize a 12ga cord is over twice as heavy to physically carry and coil, I have both 12ga and 16ga and reach for the 16ga most of the time when just using to power a LED worklight or small tool.

You'd be fine with a 16 gauge extension cord IMO, and it would be a lot easier to carry around and use.

That doesn't seem correct. Somebody tested the draw on the Partybox 710 from the wall @346 watts with everything on (the 710 is rated 800 watts from the manufacturer).
The Partybox Ultimate is a MUCH larger speaker and rated at 1100 watts. It's definitely going to draw more power than the 710.

The only way to know for sure is to plug the speaker into a Kill A Watt type device, crank it up, and see what the max power consumption is in reality.
In any event, this extension cord should easily be able to handle the power draw of his speaker (even if it's 3-4A), and a 16 gauge should be enough as well.
