Subwoofer cable question for those in the know...


My preamp has an extra set of line level outputs to drive a powered sub.

Would there be any advantage to running separate L/R cables since it is purely a bottom end booster, or can I Y the signal out/signal in and run just one cable between pre and sub?

Also, what is the difference in construction between "subwoofer cables" and ordinary shielded RCA cables?

I haven't seen anything definitive, and I assume they are designed to carry just a low frequency signal better, as opposed to full range signals?

Advice, of course, is greatly appreciated.

I’m curious, too. I just ordered one of these Analysis Plus Sub Oval cables. I’ll report back after a week of burn-in. My preamp has two sets of line level outs, also. One pair of IC’s goes to the amp. The other pair goes to the sub. The x-over point is manually set via the sub’s controls. If your preamp is a HT processor, you can set x-over via the menu for the LFE output.
