silent hill Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I just bought a Klipsch Sub-12 and I need a subwoofer cable, but I don't know which one I should buy. I was going to get 12' Monster cable U2 Sub600 cable for $ 60 at best buy or I could get a 16' Monster cable Sub1000 for $ 80 also at best buy. Which one is worth the money? Is there any better 12' cable by monster cable that I can get at a local best buy store? Sub1000 U2 Sub600By the way, what is the difference between a subwoofer cable and a subwoofer interconnect?

ygmn Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 IMO...both are overpriced for that length.... But I am a cheapskate.....hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scp53 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Dude, screw monster crap, go get a decent Dayton cable from www.partsexpress.com. MUCH better cables for the money imo. With monster, all your getting is a name, simple as that. I have this one- http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=181-642they also have a 25ft version of that one- http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=181-644I have ZERO problems with it and think its very well built for the money and never have shielding problems. Or, if don't like these, www.bluejeancables.com, http://www.mcminone.com, or http://www.cablestogo.com have some decent offerings I think. Oh, and so does radioshack- http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049640&cp=2032058.2032228.2032250. I think it used to be called "gold series" or something. Thats a cheap nice 12ft cable. So, the bottom line is DONT get monster if you DONT want to pay for a name. scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do as the above people tell you,As I explain the monster wants your money and fast !.. not only for cables,What makes me laugh is their power bars,They make them look like a monster as if your getting something good but theres nothing in the box,My self i use all ultra link which is canadian ...opps sorry americans but they are one of the best made cables next to blue jeans and a few others.

strutter Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 i echo those comments. you can do just as good with less money. my personal preference is bluejeanscable. they look good too, maybe not quite as flashy as monster but who's gonna look anyway. but if you're one of those gotta have monster kinda people then by all means spend your money on what ever tickles your fancy. BTW a cable and an interconnect are one and the same . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strutter Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 BTW, have you listened to to sub-12 at home yet? if not rather than waiting for something in the mail just run to radio shack. They've jumped on the monster band wagon too.[:'(] but their RS gold series cable is good. all my cables are RS except for the sub (bluejeans) and the speaker cable (monster) yes , there was a time when i was fooled by the hype.(got mine from ebay though at a good price) let me know what you think of the sub-12.

SteelerFan Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I agree on the Dayton Audio cable, I have the 12 ft one and you don't need anything more than that. If you don't want to buy over the net then you can go back to BB and get the AR sub cable, probably as good as Monster and much less expensive.

And there was also a time in early days when Paul klipsch just used lamp wire to hook up lascalas and khorns and it was just as good[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo72 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 12 feet of RG-6 quad sheild coax and a couple "F" to RCA adapters and you have a great sub cable for about 5 bucks. Good luck to you. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
