    Whitetruk(hope that isn't where you got your speakers!), a 50 foot cable to connect to a sub doesn't present a significant technical problem and cables as good as any are available at quite low cost, such as this one from Triangle Cable .

    Here's another option:
    http://bluejeanscable.com/store/subwoofer/index.htm

    50 foot options will be pretty limited.

    Also, you may want to do some research on any potential loss/degradation in such a long run.
    5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect. DC-1/RB-1582 MKII/Sonos Connect also feed Polk 7C in garage or Dayton IO655 on patio.
    2.1 ch Basement Gym: Denon AVR-2807/Klipsch Forte I or NHT SB2/JBL SUB 550P x 2/Chromecast Audio.
    2.0 ch Living Room: Rotel RX-1052/Emotiva DC-1/Klipsch RF-7 III/Sony ES BDP/LG 65" LED.
    2.0 ch Semi-portable: Klipsch Powergate/NHT SB3/Chromecast Audio.
    Kitchen: Sonos Play5.

    I have a run about that long with a composite video going to a tv and don't detect any signal degradation. The cable is a rg6 (same stuff you use for antenna, cable or sat) with the appropriate adaptors at each end. Should work just as well for a sub.

    Polk65,

    Nice looking cables, kind of makes me want to redo mine even though I am happy with the performance of the current one.

    I have my SVS sub connected through 50 feet of inwall RG6 coax which is then connected to a 12 foot monster subcable which is then connected to an old component video cable I had laying around and it sounds the same as when I connect the sub directly to the reciever with the 12 foot sub cable.

    My vote is for Bluejeans cables. I have 2 35' runs, they work well...
