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.

Superb Sounding Subwoofer Cable

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!

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.

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.

Audio Quest Subwoofer cable

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.

Great Subwoofer Cable for mid to high-end system

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.

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.

Major upgrade

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.

When you invest in quality audio, it's no time to stop with the cables. Little pricey but works as anticipated.

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.

There was a discernible improvement over the Monster cables I was using. In fact it was such a noticeable improvement I replaced all my interconnects with Irish Red. Sounded as if I had upgraded components! Well worth the money if you have descent gear.

Purchased this sub cable to go with my second sub. Currently have a SubX cable on current sub. Since subX car is no longer made I purchased this Irish Red. After running the subs for about a month now I feel that the one using the Itush Red cable sound a little better. Will be purchasing a second cable.

Bought a Black Lab Subwoofer Cable, less than 6 months had issues; I don't think it ever worked right, very soft cable.
Purchased the Irish Red Subwoofer cable and have really enjoyed my subwoofer finally, very stiff cable. I have all Audio Quest cables.

The grounding strap to this cable has help eliminated the humming in my subwoofer. Prior to this cable I had numerous problems with ground loop humming. Great quality product
