Let's build a subwoofer interconnect


I need a high quality 3 meter single subwoofer interconnect for a nice music/HT system. My speakers cross over to the sub at 80 Hz. I haven't shopped interconnects for several years. There sure are a lot of choices. I've got my preferred RCAs narrowed down to Bullet copper or silver and WBT NextGen copper or silver. I need help narrowing down further to the best assembled sheilded wire/RCA combination. Some suppliers I'm looking at include Bolder and VH Audio. I've asked VH Audio for a price on a 3 m Pulsar with the WBT NextGen silver RCA. If you were having a custom subwoofer interconnect built what choices would you make? Let's say we keep the budget for this litte project under $300. Member input is much appreciated.

You will have ZERO benefit from Super connectors in this application unless you are looking for audio jewelry... The 80 hz signal going to a Sub I don't care what people try to prove or you try to prove to yourself, will be near impossible to hear the differences feeding a sub.. Unless one cable vs. the other is so resistive that it puts less voltage out to the sub somehow from the processor. Go buy a top of the Line Cardas or whatever and then take a cheap Video cable from Rat Shack, and you will never spend the money on a super pricey connector or cable for that application sorry, try it. I use Locking WBT's on fairly pricey cables, but this is effective in a Full range signal interconnect or Digital cable but next to 0% or 5% difference in the application you are looking for.

By the way okay if you were running a FAR longer length than 3 meters than you could get better shielding and connectors, but I swear you will have probably no difference in your case. Save your money, by a cable for 30 bucks and try to find a weakness seriously. http://bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/index.htm
will have your best hi-end sub cable with canare connectors etc.. If you must, and they will still only cost you 22 bucks for a 9 ft and 25 bucks for a 12 ft.
