2. cables
  3. 151323-41

Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables.

I now own 4 JL Audio F-113 subs and would like to run the front 2 as Master (s) and the rear 2 as Slave units. This would mean that each rear sub would have 75 feet of a balanced XLR cable running to them. The front has about 15 feet to each sub.
This seems to me to be too much cable. Is this too much cable?
And no, I will not be using SR cables just Monoprice to the rear subs.

Only one 75 foot cable will be used on each master to slave unit.

Understood.  But the 150 foot combined length of the two signal conductors in that one cable is what counts, in terms of resistance and loss of signal voltage.

Enjoy!  Best regards,

XLR cables all sound pretty much the same.....tried many, and as long as you are balanced, you're good to go.

Just connected the XLR cables. What a pain installing that much cable. But, everthing seems ok to go.

Wonder how long it will take for all that cable to break/settle in?
And.. will I even notice it?
