Long Distance Subwoofer Cable

[MotherBoardEater11]

I have a home theater system in my bedroom and I want to put the subwoofer on the opposite side of the room and I need to run the cable about 32 feet along the wall. It is a powered subwoofer so i need RCA cable and I have a very low budget because i'm 13 so I don't have a job and can't really make any money and my parents wouldn't pay much either because my mom is a teacher and my dad is starting a business and not making any money.

Have you check Amazon

 

Just saw some cheap cable at around 12,00$

I would advise against it.

 

Without being able to spend some money, running an unbalanced signal that far, presumably round the outside of a room, is 100% going to suffer from interference. How much it would cost to do at a basic level depends on what sub you've got, what source you're using how you're splitting to the mid-high range speakers.

This is the cable I've been using for years. It's dual shielded and does a good job mitigating interference. They also don't make cables much longer than 35 feet for subs, or much better at this price point.

I think you might be impressed with the quality. It's not really a cheapo wire even though it's competitively priced.

RG6 coax cable with some RCA adapters works fine for a fair length if you don't mind how stiff the cable is.

that is exactly what I think i'm going to get, the sub was a $50 sub I got for free from my dads friend

if anyone was wondering, for my whole 5.1 surround sound system, i paid $110. I got a sony str-d865 which was a $700 receiver when it was new for free from my dad, i bought a pair of polk t15 bookshelf speakers for $50 originally for the front the moved to the back when I replaced them, I replaced them with BOSE 301 series IV speakers that my brother sold me for $60, and the sub is a jensen-js800 8 inch 100 watt powered subwoofer that my dads friend gave me because he never got it to work and heard i wanted to get a subwoofer, and i had a jbl center channel that was $300 when my dad bought it like 5 years ago but he stopped using it and now i changed some things in my room and I am just going to run it in phantom mode so that the front speakers double as a center channel. Also, I just use amazonbasics 16-aug copper speaker wire.
