Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables.


I now own 4 JL Audio F-113 subs and would like to run the front 2 as Master (s) and the rear 2 as Slave units. This would mean that each rear sub would have 75 feet of a balanced XLR cable running to them. The front has about 15 feet to each sub.
This seems to me to be too much cable. Is this too much cable?
And no, I will not be using SR cables just Monoprice to the rear subs.

Wire makes all the difference, except when it comes to subs. Prior to building mine I was dead certain they would need quality wire just as much as the main speakers. First Duke said no, save your money. But then just to be sure, even though it was Duke, I did compare and sure enough, freaking lamp cord is plenty good enough for subs.

But then what about the interconnect? Surely the interconnect will make a difference??? Well so far I have tried several, and some really good ones too, and right now am using the cheapest crappiest interconnect in the house - because it simply does not matter! I can hear no difference! 

So just like Duke told me, save your money for where it will actually make a difference.
