Subwoofer cable question - Blu-ray Forum

GBMidge7 · 07-30-2009, 01:31 AM

Hi all, looking for a little advice. I am rearranging my entire apartment around my new Sammy plasma that will be arriving Friday (SWEET

)... anyway... as a result, my subwoofer will now be much further away from the television. Because of this, I will have to get a new subwoofer cable that will need to be at least 15 feet long (my current one is about 6 feet long). My question is, will this length start to introduce interference or loss of quality? If so, I could probably find a different place for the sub, I just figured I'd check with you guys first. Thanks in advance for any help

No, at 15 feet, you should be fine with the LFE (.1) signal. Here is a link to a 25ft RG6 well shielded cable from monoprice (it is always good to have the extra length in case of any other future moving of the sub.)

Thanks for the quick responses, guys! Good to know, because I think my new sub position is going to sound great (of course I will be moving it around a bit to find just the right spot!). Anyway, thanks again

Be on the lookout for my new home theater pics when the tv gets here Friday!
