Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Subwoofer shopping again!

Hi erik,
thanks for following up. I sent you the note again at 3:15 PDT. If you still don't get it, maybe something really odd is happening with your email system or mine. You may also wish to enable "private message" in the forum so I can try sending you via that instead.

I sent an email to Ron last Monday morning I believe...never heard back from him. I thought that was kind of odd as well since he emailed me 3 times on the Sunday before.

thanks, everyone who commented, and the svs guys. They managed to dig up my email and Tom responded to it. To avoid "what-if"-itis, I decided to go with the 25-31PC+.. It should have enough SPL and gives the ability to shift down if I think I am missing something. Excited and waiting for it. Now to hope the man-in-brown delivers it safely !

btw, forgot to ask -- is it important to use some sort of shielded cable for the sub hookup ? What are some reasonably priced brands for that (and price ranges) ?

Yes, you need a shielded coaxial RCA cable. Any RCA audio interconnect will do. If you need a relatively long cable run, get a long composite video cable. It is often much cheaer than those overpriced ones that are sold as "subwoofer cables" by Monster et al. Here are some examples.

The simplest thing to do might be to just pick up a shielded coaxial cable with an RCA plug at each end from RadioShack. You shouldn't pay more than about a dollar a foot and could do even a little better with a source such as sushi suggested or here .

SVS will sell you a discounted subwoofer cable from BetterCables when you purchase a sub. That's what I ended up doing. Can't complain.
