The Irish Red Subwoofer Cable exceeded my expectations. It’s robust, well-constructed, and durable with solid connectors that fit snugly into subwoofer and receiver ports.
The sound quality improves significantly, with deeper, clearer bass and richer, more immersive audio. The sleek red design adds style, while its flexibility makes routing and installation easy.
Considering its performance and quality, the cable is reasonably priced, making it an excellent investment for audio system upgrades.
I’m thoroughly impressed with the cable’s superior sound quality and durability. It’s a must-have for audiophiles. I highly recommend it.

This is classic Audio Quest quality and performance, I went from using the bestbuy essentials cable to the Irish red and wow it was a massive difference in performance. The noise floor dropped significantly low frequency dynamics where greatly improved and my humming went away completely. I cannot recommend this cable enough the only thing negative is the price but if you want to best price to performance the Irish Red is the perfect cable to get.

Replaced a sub-woofer and cable due to lightning. This cable works perfectly to produce quality sound with a cord long enough to reach my equipment without having to use mirrors and ladders. Grounded to the chassis, I can feel the floor move under my seat while enjoying great movies and an immersive sound experience.

Needed a subwoofer cable for a new Klipsch subwoofer and decided to go with this one. Looks to be a high quality cable and seems to work great with our 43" Samsung 7 series television and Sony receiver along with Klipsch tower speakers. I ended up not connecting the ground wires and may not be necessary. May have been able to get by with the 10' cable but got this one in case I need to move the subwoofer around for best performance.

I love the irish red cable. I have never experienced any humming and my subwoofers work just like I expected them too. The cable itself also has really great build quality.

The cable works great, and the connection is very reliable. The subwoofer is recognized by the receiver as soon as the cable is connected. Although there might be cheaper alternatives, this cable has been trouble free, and with great signal transmission, which makes it worth the money. The sound output of the subwoofer is amazing with accurate, and thundering bass. This cable is specifically designed for a subwoofer. It also offers additional ground connection which is a nice feature. This seems to be a quality made cable. I highly recommend this cable.

If you have a subwoofer that cost you $500+ I would recommend getting good cables if you have a mid to high-end surround system.
Cheaper systems like Home Theatre in Box you can get by with cheaper cable. The better your system is the better the cables should be.
The cost only stings once so get it if you have mid to high-end system.

Not to disparage Best Buy Essential's subwoofer cables, but these AudioQuest - Irish Red subwoofer cables are miles above in sound quality. I needed a pair of cables for my two subwoofers. Initially I bought the Best Buy cables, but they made the sound way too "boomy" on the 12-inch subs.
Once I replaced those with the AudioQuest - Irish Red cables, the bass was much more accurate, smooth, and toe tapping. Bass became less fatiguing to my ears. Bass should sound smooth and not like bass units you hear in car sound systems.
Highly recommended!

I have had various cables and i just keep coming back to audioquest, they always have the right length and the right amount of every thing in the cable for several levels of investment. more importantly if something goes wrong with he cable just send it in and they almost always send you a new one.

Most people say that a cable is a cable, but I disagree!!
However, Audioquest makes cables that are better than most all other cables on the consumer market. This subwoofer cable is high quality!! The fact that it includes some silver puts it in a class above subwoofer cables that don't include silver! The connection ends are made to the highest quality. This is a great cable and highly recommended!!

I wanted a little better than the normal $10 cables that you see at most stores. This one will probably out last most of them. You won’t hear much of a difference in sound over a cheap cable, but this will keep you going with great sound quality way longer than others.

Switching from a monster cable that was priced very silimlarly, the audioquest Irish red was night-and-day difference. Bass was significantly tighter and punchier. Even range was improved, being able to hear WAY more frequencies than with the monster. Overall it's a no brainer and I will highly recommend audioquest.

I tried this cable based on the performance out of my new sub and the Best Buy employee recommended this cable. It made a very big difference and I am very happy with this purchase. It is expensive, but worth the upgrade if you are investing in nice speakers.

After many years of using my definitive technology BP7004 speakers with speaker cables only, I decided to try using the LFE input so I purchased a pair of Audioquest Irish Red subwoofer cables. The bass appears to be fuller and not muddy. Although the cables were a bit pricey, so far I am pleased with the results.
