Need help finding a high quality subwoofer single line interconnect
Hi-
I need to find a high quality subwoofer single line interconnect. The MonsterBass MB300 12ft cable from Moster Cable costs $40 and, in my opinion, isn't worth that much. I'd like some advice on what brand cables I should look into and where I should get them for the best price.
Thanks.

A 12ft Cobalt sub cable would be $49 shipped.
I have one of these, but I use it for a coax digital cable and it works excellent. It is a very sturdy, good looking cable.

Any reasonable-quality RCA patchcord will make a fine connector for signal-level sub connects. Unless you *really* want to throw money away on Monsters, etc. You won't hear a diffference. Really. So many poor(er) people actually convince themselves that their system sounds better with cables costing several hundreds of dollars. Physics is *not* on their side. Monster Cable's metallurgical hype is laughable.
For line-level cable, just use regular 10-gauge wire with good connects, don't make huge runs (less than 15' or so) and you'll be fine.

The highest quality and cheap prices alternative is using RG-6 cable with F-connectors and then use F-Connectors to RCA adpters and you have a highly sheilded, high quality cable for a nice price.
