Topic: Subwoofer Cable

[Nelson de Leon]

pretty much accurate... cables may have an effect but its not really night and day.

Correct.

[jon2]

please compare with 75ohms cable. dati ganyan din ang gamit ko pero nung ginamitan ko ng coax cable, di ko akalaing may pagkakaiba.

ito napansin ko:
- ordinary RCA : may konting ugong sa sub
- coax 75ohms : mas malinis at mataba ang output

pero nung nagtry na ako ng 3 klaseng 75ohms cable, same lang din ang output basta wag lang ordinary RCA lalo na yung payat ang cable. 

Napansin ko din yan,I'm using 1.5 m. audio pro rca cable ung single per pack, mahina ung output ng sub ko but when i used my DIY belden rg6 cable mas malinis at mas strong and deep ung bass ng sub.

Btw, forget about the cables.

+1   I've learned thru the years that cables has a little as much as only 5% emphasis on the entire system, this is just my 2cents

[stickfighter]

I read an article before cables are just 5% emphasis on the system set-up while the rest of the 95% goes to the equipments used 

You will also have to consider room acoustics. I did not believe in this before...but since I had my room treated, you'd be amazed at the BIG improvement it can do to the overall performance of your HT.

Ooo pala I forgot about room treatments, a very big difference on a treated room v.s. an untreated one (mine's is semi untreated)

If your room is semi untreated and you don't know where to begin, the intial treatment for me to recommend, would be to get base traps. They are very effective and really improves bass sound quality.

Thats the problem, my area is quite small & i think the Bass Traps wont fit in the corners anymore. How about those rectangular diffussors w/c we put in the rear end of the main front speakers? TIA

Parang alam ko na san papunta to...Mukhang upgrade na tuloy neto

Many times, when you don't hear any bass, it is because the AVR has set your main speakers (all speakers other than the sub) as "Large" or "Full-Band." D ako sure ano terminology sa Yamaha.

Make sure that the main speakers are set to "Small" and set the crossover to around 80 Hz. That will send the frequencies below 80 Hz to your sub. The principle is that no matter how big your main speakers are, it is still better to designate them as "Small" and let the subwoofer handle the bass.

Btw, forget about the cables.

Salamat sa tips sir. Kaya pala di ko ma feel ang bass ko.

newbie questions mga sirs, i have a cambrigde interconnect cable na medyo makapal, ginamit ko sya before as a coaxial cable. can i use the same cable as a subwoofer cable? or same lang po if i use a ordinary rca cable? i tried listening prang same lang po or maybe i dont have the good listening ear. TiA!

yes you can do this.
if you hear no difference then try not to look for it further.cables are just tools to transfer signals.
resistance lang ang dapat i-eliminate or bawasan dyan.so use thicker wire with good isolation coating

Thanks a lot sir sa reply. Mas ok yung ca interconnect kse mas makapal. Wala na kse akong nakikitang pag gagamitan ng ca interconnect sayang naman if tengga Lang.

salya mo sa marketplace siguradong may kukuha niyan 

ako ginagamit ko na subwoofer cable ngayon is an old component cable since kailangan left and right pag naka connect sa integrated amp. kaya hindi na uubra yung single coaxial cable na gamit ko dati.

thanks bro. observe ko yung connection ko, i'm also using integrated amp pero kahit left & right connection ko gumagana lang sub ko sa 1 channel. thanks again

Me I use thick coax cable made in Japan with better termination (Nutrik) spend a little pricey because of the Build. I am not expecting it will makes my Sub better NO! I just use this thick quality cable for better isolation from any interference and assures me a tight connection on my sub at all times (our humid climate makes cheap connectors to tarnish) i like the things ''CONNECT and FORGET"!

Using Nutrik connectors for my custom subwoofer cable as well - one that 'locks-on'.

I have some diy subwoofer cable, but mas Ok signal flow ng 75ohms coaxial cable...

[stockHT]

I have some diy subwoofer cable, but mas Ok signal flow ng 75ohms coaxial cable...

sir makikisingit na nga, mag d-DIY kasi ako ng subwoofer IC ko, ano ba yung 75 ohms na coax? eto ba yung isa lang ang copper wire sa loob? eto kasi nakita ko kay pao sa selling:



Satconn RG6Q Cables (quad shield, white color) - P35 per meter.
Amphenol RG6 Cables (black color) - P25 per meter.
Amphenol RG59 Cables (black color) - P25 per meter.

Kung hindi ako nagkakamali eto yung kable ng "cable" namin. does it mean na pwede ko gamitin yun as subwoofer cable?

How about mic cable? pwede din?

sa dami ng nabasa ko naguluhan lang ako. hehehehe.

Amphenol Plugs pala ang balak ko gamitin para sa terminator.


Then nagpagulo pa 'to - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzCIMufCQLk
i think na discuss to in page 2 ata. but.. should I use RCA L/R and LFE para both movies and audio pasok?

[jjohnc]

This what I use it brings out the best for my sub...

Transparent XLR Cables...

[synchro_01]

I use the stock Neutrick SpeakOn connectors and cables. Nothing fancy. It came with the subs so I guess the manufacturer deemed that its good already for their product.

[vgsison]

I ask paolorenzo to build me one whenever i need a sub cable.
