Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced

Does anyone have a suggestion for a longer cord for a REL 328 sub? It has a class D amp.
Before you suggest high dollar cords, please know that I'm not a skeptic, but am tapped out for power cords. And, for what it's worth, I had a Pangea AC9 1 meter power cord which I experimented with using my REL. Made zero difference. In fact, in an exchange with REL, they said this: "A while back, REL tested some third party power cords with our subs but did not find a noticeable impact."

So, my question is about a decently made but not pricey brand of extension cord for a REL sub. I'm not looking for Shunyata etc.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

https://www.volex.com/products/detail/v1625

It says:
Wire Gauge 10
Rated Current 7A, 10A, 12A, 13A, 15A
What could "Wire Gauge 10" mean except "wire gauge 10 AWG"?"

Every Volex V1625 power cable I’ve seen is 18AWG with a 10A rating. If it really was 10AWG, it would have a 30A rating.

Ok, thanks. I guess the website could just be wrong.

Holly cow... 30.00 make your own, with 10/3 awg SOOW or SJOOW
and hubbell ends. Heck you can even make it pretty, with some flex armor and shrink tube.. Cut to fit... About 1.00 a foot USD and US
made cable.. As good if not better than any other cable mfg. at 5 times the price.

Regards..
