I'm buying a B&k ref 30 and 5000 II 5 Channel amp. My problem is I'm not sure how to make them talk.
Could any one give me some advice on cables?
Where can I get could cables?
Can I just use regular RCA cables or do I need something special?
Thanks in advance!

    Hi Andrew. Yes all you need is regular IC's to hook them both together.

    Congrats on your purchase.

    Signal Cable makes some nice looking and well constructed interconnects. They're a little on the warm side, which should be good for your setup. Mention that you're a Club Polk member, you'll get a 5% discount.

    Awesome! Thanks a lot guys/gals. Signal Cables it is!

    Now this question might be really dumb but I gotta know for sure. They come as a pair but you only need one per channel for my set up right or wrong?
    Do I need to buy 5 pairs or 3 pairs leaving me with one extra cable?
