|   Subwoofer Cable | Lajaboy
Apr 23, 2001 11:09 AM | | Hi,
I was told the Subwoofer Cable will make the bass different and therefore I am looking for a quality subwoofer cable. Doesn't seems to be lot of brand name offering Subwoofer cable. The Monster Cabler does but MIT, Audioquest, Kimber seems to be not. I was thinking to buy a MIT Terminator 2 15 feet Interconnect for use as Subwoofer cable. Does anyone think it'll OK or has to use the special Subwoofer Cable. Any idea?
Thanks! |

Apr 23, 2001 1:25 PM | | Regardless of what you were told about a subwoofer cable, there is nothing in physics and no blind testing that proves a subwoofer cable affects the sound. The only thing that can be said is that a really long cheap cable will attenuate the signal.
Save yourself a whole bunch of money and use a coaxial cable like RG-59 or RG-6 with RCA to F-type connector adaptors or use a regular video or audio cable.
The reason there are so few "subwoofer" cables is that any regular coaxial cable will do unless it is extremely long or extremely cheap. This is not enough to stop cable marketers like Monster who are more than willing to explain to you why you need a special "subwoofer" cable that the specially make (and specially price). |

To affect the frequencies below 150hz, I cannot imagine the capacitance needed. Must be huge, if you can even find a cable. But, I suppose a mile of it might do:-) |
