Here is 15 feet Canare LV-77S cable subwoofer cable for $30.

Two reasons why this cable is better than $5 ones from Walmart.

1. Since Sub cable operate in 60 Hz region, only double braid shield cable will be effective in lower frequency protection against 60 Hz interference. Foil/braid or single shield cable will not be as effective.
2. Since Sub cables are usually longer than typical ICs, double braid shield cables provide lower resistance return signal path than foil/braid or single shield cables.

Hope that helped :)
