subwoofer cable recommendations.

About five months ago i purchased a Hammer Lite subwoofer directly from GMA, and since have tried several cables including Monster cable, Cardas Quadlink, and Audio Magic Excalibur ll without success, either too lean or to booming of a sound, I have read about a couple cables that might be right for my system, one is synergistic research the other Audioquest SUB 3, if you can think of others i would appreciate it .

A sub cable should offer "some" refinement of the sound. If you are getting "too lean" or "too boomy" you have sub placement issues, not a cable issues (assuming that you are using at least a decent cable).

Watch the auctions for the Black Mountain Pinnacle Gold.These offer great performance in the bass,but are sub-par in the hi-frequencies.
How long a cable do you need?

I'm using Ultralink and couldn't hear any difference from Kimber's product. A lot cheaper. It has all the point nines and is really smooth and fast.

Morgoth360... I recently purchased a Synergistic Research Alpha Sterling Active XLR subwoofer cable to compliment my new JL Audio f112 subwoofer. The Alpha Sterling is Synergistic's least expensive subwoofer cable. The Cable Company said "my sub would sing"... and it does. After the cable settled in, I went through the sub set up process… again… and for the first time I really felt I could hear what was going on.

If you’re in the market for a Synergistic subwoofer cable, check out the cable presently listed on Audiogon. It’s the more expensive version and if it had XLR connections, I’d buy it myself as an upgrade.
