Let's build a subwoofer interconnect

I need a high quality 3 meter single subwoofer interconnect for a nice music/HT system. My speakers cross over to the sub at 80 Hz. I haven't shopped interconnects for several years. There sure are a lot of choices. I've got my preferred RCAs narrowed down to Bullet copper or silver and WBT NextGen copper or silver. I need help narrowing down further to the best assembled sheilded wire/RCA combination. Some suppliers I'm looking at include Bolder and VH Audio. I've asked VH Audio for a price on a 3 m Pulsar with the WBT NextGen silver RCA. If you were having a custom subwoofer interconnect built what choices would you make? Let's say we keep the budget for this litte project under $300. Member input is much appreciated.

I didn't mean to imply a low cost recommendation would be considered sub par. I was simply saying the old microphone cable currently feeding my sub is sub par and I'd like to replace it with something exceptional that includes very good connectors like the Bullets or NextGen. The Canare LV-77S mated with Bullets sounds like a good option. I'll look into that particular Canare cable. Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas thus far. I'm still waiting to hear from Chris at VH Audio. At this point, for me, the minimum acceptable connector would be the Bullet copper. This would also allow extra $$ for a nice shielded wire. I've 'gotten by' with a sub par interconnect to my sub for years. Perhaps I'm trying to over compensate now. That's fine with me.

I'm learning a lot from our members in the course of this discussion. I assumed great connectors and great wire were required to attain great subwoofer performance. It seems that premise would result in over kill. I'm exploring the options shared thus far. I haven't heard back from Chris at VH Audio. Perhaps he's vacationing. I'll try again. In the meantime feel free to share if you haven't yet. Thanks.
