Of course you should pay attention to an appropriate bass power amp at first place. The Crown K2 is top class for bass and at a moderate price point.
The speaker cable for subwoofer makes quite a difference. I have well had, as Im just in the process to switch to a Maxx2 - the Wilson Audio WHOW subwoofer with the crossover point set to low 52 Hz, so you may think this is a small bandwidth and the cable may not be important.
I tried several cables 3-4 ft. mono runs, starting from a 10$ standard cable, to a 100 $ XLO reference 6A cable, to several 1000+$ cables. I ended with the fantastic Elrod speaker cable, which is not only superior as a bass cable but also as speaker cable for my Watt/Puppy (where it replaced the twice as expensive Nordost Valhalla).
1100 $ retail price is high for a 3 ft. mono run, but matched with a first class sub like the WHOW, its worth the investment.
Bass gets more power and control, it sounds as it goes deeper with the Elrod.
