LostIdentity Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Hey Folks What subwoofer cable do you recommend ? AmazonBasics or Monoprice or something else ? What Banana plugs will you recommend to terminate all my speaker wire cables? I was looking at Mediabridge or FosPower or Monoprice 109436 or something else? Any brands and links appreciated...

pwstereo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The Monoprice Affinity Series 24k Gold Speaker Banana Plugs are supposed to be a good thing, but the shipping cost makes them a ridiculous proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hometheatrebugbitten Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 For the sub cable I would go the Soundpath (SVS) sub cable - good quality and not overly expensive. (running one into my SB2000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiebosco Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I would get a Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 subwoofer cable, the best quality cable I've had . Hand made in the USA and absolutely top shelf customer service. The connectors are clones of the Canare RCAP connectors and are excellent quality and give a very solid connection. No snake oil, ground unicorn horn or pixie dust, just a solid product at an affordable price (due to the extensive shielding - they are not overly flexible though) https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/index.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiebosco Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 5 hours ago, LostIdentity said: Thanks.. Interesting.. about $75 delivered for 2m.. Hmm.. I would recommend getting one a bit longer than you need right now, to allow for future placement flexibility. Adding a ft or 2 now will only add a few dollars to the price, but may save you having to buy another later on because it's not long enough. I'm not sure what your budget is for this, so $75 may seem lot for a subwoofer cable - though compared with some other brands , it's actually a minuscule amount- but this cable will last a LONG time. I've owned one of their older model cables for well over 10yrs and I've gone through probably 8-10 subwoofers since then (God help me!) I purchased 3 of the newer models using their LC-1 cable a few years ago and all have been perfect. BJC is also excellent to deal with and (IMHO) a great company to support (a small, family run business) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_mac Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If you can solder... these beryllium copper multi-contact BFAs: https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/banana-plugs-connectors/2817018/ Just under $5ea with free deliver (unfortunately they are only available in batches of five). You can discard the plastic outer covering and simply heat-shrink over the termination for neatness. If not, these screw-type BFAs are good: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KnuKonceptz-BFA-Style-Banana-Plugs-Accept-8-to-16-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-Pack-of-4/381663629354?epid=1165278785&hash=item58dcecd02a:g:z50AAOSwyjBW4ZPX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
