Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Any problem with a long speaker wire between a sub plate amp and it's driver

The longer length of the RCA cable will have negligible effect, unless it's a very poor cable and you've got any noise issues. However, running long speaker wires from a plate amp to a sub is not a good idea and *can* result in performance issues (damping factor).

I would retrofit properly, then run the RCA cable from the system to the sub and make that cable as long as it needs to be. (Once a sub is set up there is no advantage to having the plate close to your listening position.)

That's my 2 cents anyways.

Cheers,
Presto
