Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced

Does anyone have a suggestion for a longer cord for a REL 328 sub? It has a class D amp.
Before you suggest high dollar cords, please know that I'm not a skeptic, but am tapped out for power cords. And, for what it's worth, I had a Pangea AC9 1 meter power cord which I experimented with using my REL. Made zero difference. In fact, in an exchange with REL, they said this: "A while back, REL tested some third party power cords with our subs but did not find a noticeable impact."

So, my question is about a decently made but not pricey brand of extension cord for a REL sub. I'm not looking for Shunyata etc.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

Holly cow... 30.00 make your own, with 10/3 awg SOOW or SJOOW
and hubbell ends. Heck you can even make it pretty, with some flex armor and shrink tube.. Cut to fit... About 1.00 a foot USD and US
made cable.. As good if not better than any other cable mfg. at 5 times the price.

Regards..

Try a new guy in town. Pine tree audio.com
Extremely affordable all components made in the USA, handmade in Vermont. I did my whole rig in them. It only took three days from the time I ordered until I showed up at my house.

D’Addario IEC to NEMA Plug Power Cable - 10 feet
12AWG Conductors

MSRP: $49.00 - currently on sale at Sweetwater (pro audio shop) online for $23.32 (including tax, free shipping)
[I just purchased one for my class-D powered sub]

I checked out that Pine Tree Audio - Stealth 1000 with 10AWG looks interesting, $150 for 10 feet, but it is heavier gauge wire.


PS. I really do enjoy my SR Master Coupler X2, it’s not just millercarbon
