Almost all subwoofer cables utilize one or more layers of shielding and one of those layers (usually copper) is the negative connection for the cable. The negative can also be a separate wire and not part of the shielding. This enables you to ground the shielding to the receiver, if needed, without introducing a ground to the sub connection via the RCA. This concept is used in pro type audio installs. It is s a very important attribute if you need to defeat interference. Acoustic Research Master Series utilizes this approach of separating the negative wire from the shielding, and clearly surpassing the other subwoofer cables. Cables by Monster, Mediabridge and Belkin lack the separation of the negative wire from the shielding. The Top Ten Reviews web site does not make this distinction and list Mediabridge Ultra Series as being the best.

The cable is excellent quality. You have to loosen the plug first before making any connection and then tighten it back afterward. It comes in a heavy duty plastic case, which u need a screwdriver to open up. The sound is clean and no humming noise from the woofer which I had using a cheap cable.

I got this for my Polk PSW10 subwoofer, connected to a VSX-1020 pioneer receiver. The receiver has 1 sub out, and my sub has 2 ins (R and L), so I needed a cable that would split - this Y cable fits the bill... awesome sound quality... also, there are clear marks on the cable indicating that it is unidirectional, so when you fit it, make sure you are plugging the right end into the receiver and your sub... overall, great product
