I need to buy some cheap speaker cable (a dollar a foot or less) to connect my Technics SA-EX140 receiver (100 wpc) to the passive subwoofer from a Bose Acoutimass 3 Series III speaker system (found for 3 dollars at a garage sale). Both have spring clips.

I was thinking I would get some 12 or 14 gauge car stereo speaker cable. If anyone has any suggestions for size or brand of speaker cable that is $1/foot or less, I would appreciate it.

    Lowes or Home Depot 14awg, should run you $.20/ft or so, and will be more than sufficient for your application.

    From the sub to my pair of r10s I have some pure links micro reference cable by esoteric audio, so I thought I might get some street wires cable, which is made by esoteric. Either that or some monster cable XP cable. I will need a pair of 6-foot lengths. Right now I'm using 18 gauge wire that probably came with the Bose system.
