Subwoofer cables

[elbarono]

Maybe I'm cheap but I can't see spending $40 (or more) on a subwoofer cable for a line-level connection. It seems to me that the voltage/current is so low, that the size of the cable shouldn't matter much. If it was coming from speaker-level outputs, then that would be a different story. Am I missing something?

I would just use a standard rca cabel. That's what me any my friend use. He's got a better receiver and sub then me and the sub sounds fine. Monster is the bose of cables and wires don't fall into the trap.

The debate on whether or not to spend a bunch of money is one that rages on and on. But there is a forum just for discussing cables and if you go there I'm sure you'll find some of the info you need.

Personally, I'd say he already has all the valid info he needs.

LOL.

I would just add that in my humble experience, the cable itself is not so much the limiting factor as is the termination. Take a look at the connectors...if they're a good size, not flimsy and can tolerate you wiggling the wire without any noticeable side affects (ie: while plugged into something), than you're probably okay.

You can usually find some good quality inexpensive acoustic research cables on ebay. I like Radio Shack's Gold brand too.

$40 for subwoofer cable is a bit much, IMO...especially if nobody can provide you with a solid guarantee or at least a validated explanation of why a $40 cable is better.
