Subwoofer cable?

[cmb6062]

Does the sound in a subwoofer sound better with a more expensive "quality" cable? (only cable talking here, not receiver or anything) 

 

 

My cable looks like this kinda, just not gold plated and looks 2x cheaper

Nope a cable is just a cable

Not really, no, it just is said to. That's why Monster sells $50 cables and Fry's sells generic $10 cables. They both work the same, you're just paying for looks.

Alrighty, but gold plated cables are just for the cable to last longer during unplug and plugin, right?

I guess. Really, they'll last just as long. The only difference may be the cable's thickness but that wont affect performance.

If it's digital then no, if it's analog then yes but not that much, just don't get the 50 cent cable and you should be alright, Monoprice makes some pretty nice cables for $4.

I think gold is actually less durable than most metals used in connectors because it's so soft. Gold plating might have something do with it's conductivity though

Gold doesn't oxidize.

Your fine to use that cable, only thing I would worry about is grounding and shorting due to it being cheap 

Should be fine, wont make a difference if you buy a better cable quality-wise

I pulled some old component cables i had apart and used one of them for my sub.  I think subs are still analog? so yes the cable does matter.  Least on my receiver the sub is analog.  I think if its not terribly long you should be fine with pretty much anything.

 

[genkifd]

subs are only analogue.

 

Only reason i would pay a little more for a sub cable is for the insulation. as interferences as thin cables may contribute to humming noises.
