Is 35’ and 50’ to long for RCA sub cables?

I have four subwoofers now and want to run cables for the rear two. If I ran them along the baseboard and tucked them down underneath I’d need about 35’ for one sub and about 50’ for the other.
Is that to long of a run for RCA sub cables?

My short answer is, Yes.
Now if you could run XLR, then it wouldn't.

@OP,
You are between a rock and a hard place.
I would take @audioquest4life 's rec and get a good shielded sub woofer cable in RCA. I know Audioquest makes some inexpensive sub cables that include a grounding wire-which should minimize any ground loop hum.
