Subwoofers

Hi all, a quick question: I've been told that cables don't matter for a sub - a cheap $20 cable is just as good as a $100 cable, is that right?

That's dangerous territory Huey

But basically correct unless you fly in the stratosphere

Wrong. I was in that camp, until I swapped out cheap cables I get for free for a couple that retail for about a hundred bucks...

Sub cables, OMG!

Get some good solid core stuff, and make sure the cable only has one conduit path, not a inner and outer wire arrangement. Some of the big soft "monster Cable" stuff is good and not very expensive...........................


Oh no! I think I can see the Gallow's Pole coming my way after that one!!!!!

NUh mate, in your case it is a specially built guillotine, prepare yerself to meet thy maker

the only way to truly answer this question is to borrow a length of expensive cable from a shop and try it for yourself.
there are many variables, and only you can effectively test all of them :)

Provided it has sufficiently low R, it will be fine. Try some 2.5mm mains cable.
