Stop by your local Tweeter and pick up a Pro Solutions Sub cable. I have been very suprised on there quality to price ratio. They have very nice RCA ends and the wire is very flexible. Not to mention they perform well above expected.

My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
I will have to look on the web because I dont have a local Tweeter store around. I will google Pro Solutions Sub cable and see what I get. I have checked some other posts about the topic, and noticed two things come up alot. First some say that a Y works the best(+-3db gain) and second that you dont need a good cable on you sub. I guess that is because the signal is both very narrow in bandwidth and very low in frequency. So I wil go with the Y cable, just need to find a good one.

My 2 cents worth. I swear by these cables. Very afordable and thick... There not very flexible but the again I did read that stranded cables arnt good for sub interconects anyway. -
About the whole not a good one worth it...
I have a dayton 10 inch sub which cost me...a little over one hundred dollars. I moved from a cheap "came with my dvd player" cable to an audioquest from audioadvisor...let me see if it's still there...
ok they do and all they have is 2.0 m i believe....which works for me because my sub isn't that far from receiver...anyway

Made a WORLD of difference it comes with one end terminated to two rca's so it's got a built in splitter.
Cheap and effective though I've also heard great things from bluejeans and signalcable
