Run length


Room layout dictates the sub is on the opposite wall. Not ready to run a wire across the floor. It would be 26 feet.

To skip the floor run I would have to go up and down inside the wall. That would add another 18 feet for a total of 44 feet.  Too long?  Will be using plain old 14AWG cord.

OP do yourself a favor, 10/2 or 12/4 Soow or Sjoow is great cable and a LOT tougher. 10AWG zip cord the smallest I’d be using even with just a meter run.. Bass loves heavy copper. In wall or under the structure, Soow or Sjoow cable.. Good ol USA materials on Ebay. .25-1.00 usd a foot.

I don’t mess around with cable size, when it’s easy to run GOOD cable at no extra cost. The same way sound moves is the same way I treat cable.

The lower the frequency the heavier the cable but the higher the strand count of copper. The higher the frequency (MIDS) the larger the strand size and a lower the count of silver clad/tungsten, to a single stinger for highs and UHF. Pure silver.

I keep spools, it’s Dirt cheap, 99.99 copper, 300/600vac, and you can bury it.. 50 year life EASY... Armor it up as it comes out of the wall (optional)..
