Sub-woofer cable suggestions?
I went to 2 "high-end" speaker shops in town yesterday to buy a new sub. $700 bucks later, I got the sub, but it came with a rather flimsy, cheap looking line-level cable. When I asked the the salespeople about cables for the sub, one person told me to just use a regular, good quality gold-plated RCA audio cable, the other told me to use a Monster cable specifically designed for subs. He explained to me that the Monster cable is designed to enhance certain (low) frequencies. I'm not sure if this is the job a cable is suppose to be doing, or if I should just stick with an normal RCA and let my sub and receiver figure out the frequencies. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Ain't no magic in a subwoofer cable.
The first guy was right. The second wanted his commission for a big sale of Monster Cable. You would be surprised at how many buy into this. Any idea ofwhat frequency range is needed for a subwoofer? Hint: it ain't RF
Basically, any shielded cable with RCA connectors on both ends works fine. Ifthe one you have works, therre's no need to replace it. should it break at some point, simply replace it with one with sturdier connectors on the end. This ain't no hi bux affair, although some feel better spending money on these thihga.
