Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer


I just picked up an older Genesis 12" servo-sub with outboard crossover/amp on the cheap(VERY). This is the circular shaped sub with the gloss black finish. I'd like to add it to my 2 channel purist system to occasionally fill in the bottom or add some weight to the upper bass.
I'll be running my speakers full-range, not using the crossover/amp on them.

What I'd like to ask for is some recommendations for both an unbalanced interconnect and a power cord that would bring out the best of the sub. I do want power and weight from the sub but, I also VERY much want articulation and focus. I've recently sold a few cables that would have fit the bill nicely but would be more expensive than I want to spend for this project. So, what would you recommend for no more than $200 for each cable (pc & ic) and even less would be preferable on the used market?
Thanks so much for everyone's time and insight!

When I indicate sub cables, I'm really talking about regular analog RCA interconnects. The sub's amp/crossover is outboard and uses an umbilical to connect to the subwoofer. I'm having Moon Audio check into upgrading that. I'm just looking for a fairly cheap way of connecting the sub's input to my Droplet's single-ended outputs that offers the best bass for the money. Thanks.
I see a couple of recommendations for PS Audio power cords.
Is there much of a difference between the lower models and the upper models as far as running a sub-amp goes and how do the older models compare to the more recent and newer cords? I presently have the sub amp/crossover plugged into my PS Audio P-600 (fitted with Porter Ports) and a 6Sons Audio Windigo power cord powers the whole system. Thanks.
Just wanted to thank all for your input. I've had the sub in the shop for awhile getting a new surround installed and now have the umbilical at Moon Audio checking out options on upgrading this cable as well. Thanks all!
I haven't been responsive to the advice offered to this thread and I apologize for that. I've had Mr Baird at Moon Audio build me an umbilical using Cardas Crosslink and have had a problem with the cord (no problem with Moon Audio--highly recommended). I haven't been able to use the sub in over a month so I've kinda forgot about the whole project. I hope to be able to try out some of your recommendations soon. Thanks!---Lyle
