I finally got my subwoofer cable here and tried it out, the sub woofer was working great. I noticed some interference in my 32" tube tv so I moved my subwoofer out some and then went off to eat dinner. I came back and was organizing some cables from all my other devices. I turned on the subwoofer and all of the sudden its nothing but this deep low loud hum. I tried moving it and the cables in different places and it doesn't change. I tried out a CD and the hum stays and does nothing with anything...just a low hum that coincides with nothing. What is going on?!

The loud hum occurs whenever both the amp and sub are pluged in and connected by the Sub cable. If the amp isn't plugged in, it only hums when the cable touches where it plugs in. I don't know what to do. Should I send it back and get a new sub if this one is broken?

I'd call tech support on that one. Sounds like there's a short somewheres.

When you moved the sub did you use a different electric outlet ?

Guess what... a subwoofer cable is nothing but a label. If the cable has an rca connector on each end, you can use that. Try one of those. (same deal with component video cables, composite video cables, digital coax cables, stereo audio cables, mono audio cables, etc.--all right, the video ones might need to be to a higher spec).
