I am currently building a surround sound system, and I am wondering which subwoofer cable to buy. The receiver is a Sony STRDG720 7.1, and the subwoofer is a PSW10 (I am planning on using the method of just putting the cable into one of the RCA inputs). The cable does not need to be any longer than 10'. Also, I am looking on buying a cheaper cable.

Thanks in advance.

    Check into Signal Cable and welcome to Club Polk. A normal RCA run is all you need to get up and running.

    What really works well is standard cox cable rg6 just like your cable system uses. Then at Radio shack , buy F to RCA adapters and your good to go. Excellent quality , long runs and you can run it anywhere as rg6 is in wall rated.

    Blue Jeans Cables is one of the best places to buy cables. Quality is good, Price is right, and they dont try to screw you with "Super/Ultra/Turbo/High Ends" junk.
