Looking to replace my Monster sub cable and was looking for any thoughts out there and what y'all are using.

Thanks, Dave

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    For a sub IC you want to find a cable that is very low in capacitance.

    Look into Audioquests sub cables. I used to use Kimber kable and made the switch. I'm completely happy with my cables.
