Subwoofer cable

I am going to experiment with my Tyler Acoustics powered sub to help fill in my main speakers (Tyler Acoustics Highland 3.5) and need to purchase a sub cable from my integrated amp to the sub. Since the sub only needs a small signal I am thinking I don't need a high dollar cable or am I going to spring for one. What is a good cable to use for most subs and I am thinking there can't be huge differences in cables for my intended use? Correct me if I am wrong please :)  I was looking at a Monster Cable for around $50 via Amazon.

Audioquest also makes several nice inexpensive sub cables. It’s been my vast experience, (not sure about everyone else), that sub cables are really hard to hear a difference with. I’ve tried cables up to $500 and it sounded the same as a $25 cable.

IMHO, don’t spend a lot on a sub cable.

Check out used cable.com

They had a pair of DH Labs sub cables for sale not that long ago.  Very inexpensive.
