Extension cord, totally. Subs are one of the rare cases where wire quality makes hardly any difference.
Long power cable for subwoofer
I'm thinking about moving my SVS SB16s and require longer power cords, about 15 feet. All I've found in the 10awg range were like 6ft or 2 meters. Even Monoprice doesn't have anything that's not 18awg or maybe 14awg. Does this really matter? I don't want to spend tons of $ on subwoofer power cables.

After reading this article: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/subwoofers/, I replaced the extension cord going to an short Signal Cable power cord I have going into my Martin-Logan BF210 sub with a Signal Cable "extension" cord I had. Much like the reviewer found, the mids and highs improved with the bass. Looks like you can buy their 15 ft 10 awg cable for a little over $200. http://signalcable.com/magicpower.html |
