RCA extension cables...

I’m just making sure it’s a good idea to buy one of these (https://www.amazon.com/Extension-Subwoofer-Analogue-Shielded-KabelDirekt/dp/B00RXNVNZS) for my Logitech Z506 speakers. I’m only using it for one of the speakers, so I was wondering wether audio would be balanced. 

I heard some people say that if I only got it for one speaker it would not be optimal.

Speakers: https://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/surround-sound-speakers-z506

Thanks!

(Sorry if links r 2 long, i’m On mobile Rn and I couldn’t be bothered to change link text)

Are you sure you know what balanced audio is?

You can't get balanced with RCA or those speakers.

Nope, I have no idea about any to do with speakers. That’s y I’m here

i could do with some help tho. All I really want to know is if it is optimal to get this extension cable for my rear left speaker.

Are you just trying to move your speakers further away with an extension cable?
