Hi All,

I'll be integrating a Behringer BFD into my system shortly, and the location of the unit will only require about 4-6' of cable from it to the sub out on my processor (already have the RCA to 1/4" adaptors). Most sub cables that can be bought around here (other than online) come at a minimum 12' length. Would a quality 6' digital coax cable, or even a composite video cable, work just as well...like one of the AR Pro II series and such...which are readily available in various local stores? Thanks in advance.

    svsubwoofers.com has the Better Cables Silver Serpent subwoofer IC's at $26 for 10 feet, which seems like a pretty good deal. I actually don't understand how they offer these cables at this price, when bettercables.com offers the same cable for $64. Anyway, I got the 12m cable from SVS and it sounds great.

    Thanks...I can order a short sub cable easily,,,I was just wondering if I could go down the block and pick up a 6' digital coax and use it instead.

    The answer is Yes.
