Best interconnect for bass only


I have a four speaker system, with one amp running the two bass towers. What I am looking for, would be the "best" ic's to run from the preamp to the bass amp considering the amp and speakers are running bass only. I have had some feedback that a silver ic would be the way to go, as it would be the tightest controled bass. Thoughts!!?

The "silver" suggestion is silly. Yes, we have all read comments about silver doing this, copper doing that, gold doing this, and alloys doing this & that. If you suspect that your lows NEED tightening up...don’t expect an IC to do this. I am being blunt here. If an IC had the potential to alter the signature that much, people would buy IC' first, then speakers, then the rest. Do you have some IC's to test out? Any will do. See if you hear ANY difference with increased OR decreased focus etc in the bass. NOW BE CAREFUL, I am specifically suggesting the lower frequency response. Higher frequencies can have a subtle change. Interactions between higher frequencies VS. lower frequencies will present a "perceived" difference in the lower frequency. This is not the case. The higher frequencies play a crucial effect on our perceptions of how the lower frequencies sound. The last suggestion I have for you would be to audition some IC's with option to return and see what you hear. I can almost guarantee that any perceived change in lower frequencies will be due to slight alteration in the higher frequency bands.
But most importantly Bullot, I/we are not here to disuade you from making a specific decision. You HAVE to try things out for your self. PERIOD. That is how you will help to advise others one day from your own experiences.
