Interconnect/Subwoofer cable question (1 Viewer)

[Dan Cabral]

I need to purchase a set of 5 interconnect cables to hook my amp up to my receiver. The best deal I've found on decent cables that fit my needs are sold in pairs.

Since I only need 5 for the amp-receiver hookup, can I take the extra cable and use it to replace my current subwoofer cable, or would an interconnect not work (or not work well) for that particular use?

 

[Dave Nibeck]

Sure, if its long enough.

Is there any practical difference between a cable designated as an "interconnect" and one designated as a "subwoofer cable"?

 

[Greg_R]

They are identical except for the length.

Well, I've seen "interconnects" that are 1m, and "subwoofer cables" that are 1m, so I gather it's just marketing fluff to make you think you need one cable over another.
Thanks for the info, guys.
