Best Cables For Subs


Well, my Kinergetics SW800's are finally on the pallet and the truck shoud be here some time next week. What do the Audiogonisti recommend as cables for subs?

I'm sticking with AQ Midnight on the CLSes for the time being, although I've been noodling with Goertz and Zu.

Thanks in advance. Jim.

Most of the exotic technology that goes into cable design is aimed at the midrange and treble. And rightfully so. I have found that for bass, one needs lots of copper. For my subs I used to use Fulton Gold which is horrible as a full range cable but is 4 gauge and great on subs. Now that I have gone to powered subs, I made my interconnects out of 14 gauge (bigger than a lot of speaker wire!) twisted pair shielded wire. Esoteric cable made from dilithium crystals from the Enterprize not necessary for subwoofers. Save yourself some money.
