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.

Wonder how long it will take for all that cable to break/settle in?
And.. will I even notice it?

Just connected the XLR cables. What a pain installing that much cable. But, everthing seems ok to go.


Al,
Thanks,
Only one 75 foot cable will be used on each master to slave unit.
I should have them soon to try.

Thanks Al,
In addition, the 75 cables are; " the Monoprice Premier Series XLR Male to XLR Female - 75ft - Black - Gold Plated | 16AWG Copper Wire".

So, I'm thinking with 16 gauge wire there will be minimal signal loss.

tgrisham, millercarbon, almarg,

Thank you for the response.

So, will that long of wire be a problem for my preamp / amp (Ayre KX-5 twenty)? Possibly because of the more capacitance from the additional cable?

I’m thinking no because the long interconnects will actually be connected to the JL sub slave output and is not directly connected to the Ayre.

But then again...?
