laneza01 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 hmmm. correct me if im wrong but i dont think you want a SPDIF cable. I'm pretty sure any RCA cable will do the job but subwoofer cables are a little different because they only carry certain frequencies...? maybe? http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/index.htm they're a bunch of them on thier and there is a post in the Home Theater section that recommends blue jeans cables, although I've never used them...

oldbuckster Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I doubt you will find a less-expensive price that monoprice, I don't believe all that cable voo-doo, but for those prices, I bought 2 sub cables, and some short interconnect cables, very happy with service, and product ...............

Jay481985 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 spdif and rca cables are the same thing except that spdif are certified to stay 75 ohms constant throughout the run I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 20 feet...50 feet run . Question is how long a cable do you need ? Get a well shielded cable,nothing fancy. I run subwoofer cables (interconects) from 12 to 30 feet with zero issues. You could use a 50 foot of quality wire with no issues. The tiny signal loss will not impact sound quality in any audible way. The frequency range is very limited here, from DC to 80Hz or so...not much in the way of high bandwith. As long as the wire is well shielded you will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
