I was thinking the same thing when I had to put my sub 35 feet away from my receiver. I did exactly the same thing. Then, I started to have all kinds of problems. It might have been because I had a short somewhere, but I don't know for sure.
Well, i was introduced to Blue Jean Cables and purchased their 35 foot sub cable for 50.00. It made all the difference in the world. I was EXTREMELY impressed with ther performance of subwoofer now. It might have been all mental, but I could hear a difference. I worked for Circuit City for 7 years, 4 of the years I was a manager. So, I was "programed" to believe that Monster Cable was the "best" choice out there.
After purchasing the subwoofer cable, I made a second order and have replaced all my connections with there cables!
