<font color='#000000'>Do the expensive sub cables provide any better performance than the single-line rca cable I bought for a few bucks?
Thanks.</font>

Are there absolutely no issues with using RG6 as subwoofer cable? I ran a line anways because I just can't afford the standard sub cable since I'm looking at a 40' run

I have a 35' run of RG6 to my subwoofer with no issues. In my experience, there's no audible difference using the name brand subwoofer cables. If you can afford the cost and prefer to purchase retail, your satisfaction and happiness is what counts.

bass 100 cable

you should not have to spend that much for a cable, as matter of fact, the minimum thx certification subwoofer calbe performs better then my monster bass 100 and its cost about 15-20 dollars more.

RG 6 type or as JohnA posted, you can link two from partexperss that is long enough for you. I'd go for either if the price is close enough, or the lesser cost if it is a lot different ;)

Well, I purchased RG6 at $0.25 a foot from my favorite HT store. Good quality cable and dirt cheap! :D
