  1. Rafa

    I enjoyed this cable’s bass sound instantly. It was a smooth bass sound.

  2. Robbo

    AudioQuest connection wires have given me a smoother sound.

  3. Howy

    Easy to use subwoofer cable and the sound was really good.

  4. KarmenRider637

    Bought this subwoofer cable before and loved it. Buying another for a different setup. No interference to sub so no humming noise. Well construction built too. The difference compared to cheap $20-50 is day and night.

  5. John

    There’s not a whole lot to say about this cable other than the fact that it looks extremely durable and for the cost works fairly well

  6. Billk

    Audioquest makes great cables they may be a more little expensive but you get what you pay for,I have had other cheaper cables but were the main difference with Audioquest is in the quality of the construction of the cable also the only other thing I should have done is to buy a little extra length for I could of moved my subwoofer closer to the corner in the room.

  7. Gilbo

    This subwoofer cable makes a difference in my old SVS Subwoofer. It’s worth the money

  8. MikeW

    Sub cable works great and gives the sub a very clean sound.

  9. 0337

    This cable is really a high quality built product. The feel of the wire is of premium product and really pricy. I can’t tell if my system sounds better or not with just listening ears, but I really like the look and quality of this product. I just wish they do make it without the ground wire, I think, or have something that ties it up. Nice product though.

  10. Weez

    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

  11. Joey

    I absolutely love it!!! My entire house shakes when I throw a movie on

  12. Jcoombs

    Great cable! I like the ground wire as well on both sides.

  13. Jawapacino

    Bought one today to replace an old video cable that I had been using for years with my old Velodune F-1500-B that I just replaced with a REL HT1205 (phenomenal subs!) And guess what? The old video cable sounded better! It was thicker and had a better connector too, maybe that had something to do with it? Did you know that you can use RG6 with RCA connectors for a sub cable too?! The center conductor being solid (and highly shielded) transmits faster and with more detail than braided wire! It also has a higher bandwidth than you will ever need as well which probably attributes to clarity.

  14. doug

    This was an impulse purchase after having just spent over $1,000 for a subwoofer. It is only for use with subwoofers, it has a ground wire at each end if you can find a place to connect it. It cost close to $100 and I really didn’t look at what else would do the job.
    Did it make a difference? I really don’t know. With the volume cranked up and bombs going off it was hard to tell if the output was better by using the top of the line cable.

  15. Goose

    I love this brand and it is definitely worth the money.

  16. Barney

    Nice thin cable that delivers deep rich sound appealing to the eye also. Can’t go wrong with Audio Quest.

  17. John

    Good sturdy cable that gives you an excellent connection and quality sound.

  18. ErikWestMelb

    Great cable. This is definitely worth the extra money that you will spend. Happy with it.

  19. Stac

    Works good with the receiver works good with the Subwoofer

  20. Nightmare317

    Best value for your subwoofer!! I’ve always run the Irish red (cause Boxer is a pain to find) and never hand any issues. The bass is deep and the sound is clear!

  21. iPad

    Quality product. Very useful in getting my subwoofer working again.

  22. brucelives

    Must have if you are really into quality sound. I have all audio quest. I love it. It cost more but its worth it to serious home theaters

  23. Zeke

    Better sound quality than standard cables for subwoofers. Perfect length as well for my setup

  24. livingroom

    The Irish Red 9.8′ is the perfect cable for my 12 inch subwoofer

  25. AEgonzal

    Excellent cables; it improved the sound and it even increased the volume level of my REL subwoofer; cheapest way to improve my sound and system

  26. Marcus

    Excellent quality for Klipsch subwoofer helps to utilize sound quality

  27. Newlook

    Nice looking cable. Very solid. Added to rep ht1205 subs. Very happy.

  28. Fire23

    Amazing quality, both build and sound. Spend the money you wont regret it.

  29. moviedoc

    Very nice cable but the problem it was to correct was really a bad amp.

  30. Nikekid

    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.

  31. Peanuts

    This cable stop the humming on my sub woofer because of the ground wire that came with it.

  32. TopTier

    No matter if it’s audio or video audio quest is always gonna give you the best Quality

  33. Cruehead

    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.

  34. Moviebluedog

    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!

  35. Muns

    Great high quality stereo wire, for better quality sound, recommend this cable.

  36. 442daddy

    Best subwoofer cable for the dollar hands down!!!!

  37. TotallyTubularTech

    For a sub corx, it gets the job done no question. And when you can catch it on sale…all the better. Distortion on my sub is cleaned up really well and this cable is SOLID.

  38. LarenB

    Subwoofer sounds amazing, so no complaints at all about this cable.

  39. Wally

    Worked great with my new 12-inch Klipsch Sub-Woofer.

  40. David

    Great cable, very easy to setup. Highly recommend picking up an irish red!

  41. Dice

    This wire makes my bass bounce. No compliants. Highly reccommend.

  42. Sparky

    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.

  43. MAJNOUB

    I got this to hookup Klipsch 400-watt subwoofer. It’s a very thick well-made cable. Works great.

  44. DanG

    performs as expected. no issues. seems to be good quality

  45. Gray23black

    Great cable well built looks good and sound great matches up with my 2 SVS Sb3000

  46. RobertF

    Got a subwoofer and so needed a cable. Wanted to get every bit of quality out of the new speaker and this cable was recommended. I’m very pleased. Easy to set up.

  47. bee144

    Realistically you do not need a cable this expensive for 99% of setups. Do not recommend.

  48. AustrebertoM

    Best cable for my reciver i ever bought from best buy

  49. that1guy171

    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.

  50. JoeWinTech

    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.
