Any cables that give more bass

I'm just starting to build my 2 ch system with component KEF reference 203 powered by DK design mkii integrated with single run transparent musicwave cables and marantz dv7600 as source connect with monster M850.my room is 10x11 with catedral ceiling,I'm listening focal and some new pop music when playing some of those is bass kind of lack nothing punchy enough to feel it!!!I try located the speaker closed is other to give more bass, but still I need more?any suggestion for it folks?is that biwire cables can give more bass?or tubes for my amp?interconnect for better low end?I'm in budget for it so is that better for me to buy a good cd player or tweak it?will spend max for $1k

Many self-powered subwoofers connect via the main speakers connections or via the amplifiers output terminals so having a sub output on the amp is irrelevant.
This is fine, but I would NEVER use a signal coming off a subwoofer that would ultimately drive my main speakers. And that was the point of my post before.

With a speaker that truncates the bottom 1.5 octaves, no cabling, equalization or speaker positioning is going to help with this. It's either a subwoofer or another pair of speakers altogether.

Neither would I..........by connecting the subs via the main speakers' terminals or the amps output terminals, you are not doing what you suggest you are.

What is wrong with running your speaker wires thru a crossover, prior to the signal getting to your mains? That's what a number of subs have integrated in....they can either take an RCA direct input, if your pre has sub outputs, or you can connect your speaker wires and then run your speaker wires from a different set of terminals (crossover hi output). Sunfire subs do this...many others also.

From a purist perspective, the last thing anyone wants to do is route the signal (ultimately destined to the main speakers) through a subwoofer's cheap high-pass network, internal cabling, switching, connectors, etc.

The OP's integrated amp has one set of pre (line) RCA outputs which is perfect to drive a powered subwoofer.
Just let the main speakers rolloff naturally as they do this quite high already....and integrate a sub with one IC cable to add some presence to the bottom 2 octaves. It does not get any simpler than this.
