REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade?

I've read in various forums that upgrading the cable that runs from amp to REL subwoofer can make a substantial sonic difference. These discussion all reference cables in the $700 to $800 range.

I have to believe that one can achieve a substantial portion of this improvement for $100 or $200? Do any of you have experience with this and some recommendations?

Thank you.

Perhaps shortening the original (35 foot?) cable is the ticket?

"I would recommend trying something solid core as an upgrade to the stock stranded wire supplied from REL."

Aha - back to the "coat hanger" conversation?

Seriously, I'm tempted to call the Cable Company as a next step - I remember they had a great loaner service.

Have any of you tried soldering the Neutrik onto a cable? I'm pretty sold now on shorting the stock cord, I'd like to solder a Neutrik onto the second piece, for future flexibility.

Thx

I use the speaker outs, which REL recommends.
