Recommendations of Cables to a Sub.

I have a Paradigm Seismic 110 subwoofer which I intend to run in my 2 channel audio system of stand mount speakers. Currently using all Jorma Origo cabling in my system. Would it be best to use the same brand and series of interconnect from amp to sub that I use from amp to speakers?

Any thoughts would be appreciated or alternative solutions. In my case the cost of the IC would far outweigh the subs value.

Just an update that I have ordered a pair of Signal Cable female XLR to RCA interconnects. I am a tiny bit worried about your comments on the grounding issue though. Will see how it goes.

Thanks again for all your help Al.
You are a fountain of knowledge.

Thanks Al.
Yes, the connection from my amp to sub would be line level. There are a set of XLR preouts on the back of my amp. I need to use a pair of XLR cables from the amp and a pair of XLR to RCA adaptors for the sub side to keep the L and R channels consistent. There is only a sole XLR input on the back of the Paradigm so I am a bit wary of using a Y splitter.

The amp is a Vitus RI-100.
It does not have a dedicated sub output.
But the 2 XLR preouts can be used into a subwoofer.
Both XLRs need to be used when I emailed Vitus recently.
Thanks.

I now have a pair of Signal cable XLR to RCA cables connected between my Vitus amp and sub. In fact got a second sub today and must say the sound the bass is so tuneful. Signal Cable left pin 3 unconnected upon request.

Very happy with the results whilst the IC did not cost an arm and a leg.

I now have the Signal Cable MagicPower power cord on order to be used with the subs which should improve things even more.
