View Full Version : Need to find a 15 ft digital coaxial subwoofer cable.....monoprice is out Grim Reaper 05-05-2008, 08:56 AM ZephyrS4 05-05-2008, 09:04 AM Quite a bit more than monoprice, but who isn't? This one looks nicer if that makes you feel better :)<ul><li><a href="http://www.aperionaudio.com/product/Aperion-HP-Subwoofer-Cable-5-meter,51,39,154.aspx">aperion 5 meter</a></li></ul> larryV 05-05-2008, 09:05 AM <a href="http://bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/index.htm">good subwoofer cable</a> Great thing about this cable other than the quality is that you can specify length.

BeeRock::Riding Red 05-05-2008, 02:19 PM use a regular rf end on both sides. if your using wall plates on both sides get two RF TO RCA ends. and connect the sub via a 1 ft sub. or just terminate the ends with RF compression fittings and use the screw on rf to rca. I have been to way to many houses with the crap rca compression fit connectors on the rg6 wire and they either have no sub, or lost a color on a component setup using 3 rg6 wire. all due to the poor contact within the fitting. HIS4 05-05-2008, 03:37 PM From an installers point of view, that cable can be a bitch to work with in tight spaces like behind a receiver. pierreb 05-05-2008, 03:52 PM BeeRock::Riding Red 05-05-2008, 04:50 PM HIS4 05-05-2008, 05:17 PM I know Belden makes some pretty stiff ones that are supposed to be great for audio but suck for bending. I forget the model number. I think it was either 1694 or 1505. larryV 05-05-2008, 10:03 PM doesn't matter with the long wavelengths of analog audio (like to a subwoofer). I've always thought that the whole 75 ohm matching thing was only crucial with the high frequency requirements of video signals and digital audio. Or do I have that concept all wrong? BeeRock::Riding Red 05-05-2008, 10:54 PM but its the same thing. thats all i meant. running a line level wire is better but cost more and is more labor intensive(soldering the ends). You cant really tell the difference either. but if your a purist th best way to run is with a linelevel wire and solder the ends LuvnhatemyA6 05-06-2008, 09:37 AM |
