Expensive or cheap subwoofer cable?

[a-dogg]

So I just got x-ls front speakers and an x-sub and I'm hooking them up to my Onkyo SR602... When I'd originally bought the Onkyo 2 years ago, I bought Acoustic Research cables to connect the components. I now need to get a sub cable. But, I'm seeing that the AR sub cables start at about $20... Are these things worth it, or should I just go to Radio Shack and get a cheapo sub cable? I'm assuming mixing cable brands doesn't mean anything, unless you're really anal about you $75,000 system.

Thanks!

You can buy a composite video cable, digital coaxial cable, or a subwoofer cable. They are all the same thing. Acoustic research cables are pretty decent. I don't think I would buy anything cheaper than that or a monoprice cable. I picked up a few acoustic research pro series composite video cables at accessories4less for pretty cheap a while back. You may want to check there.

Radioshack is normally pretty expensive. I wouldn't expect them to have a subwoofer cable for much less than $20.

As suggested above but don't ask for a sub cable specifically. Ask for a video cable, or an interconnect cable. No need to spend $$ just for that name stamped on the package or the cable
