Good Product, Great Sound, Great Price
(4 out of 5) by Adam on Jul 2, 2006 (California)I just recently bought a sub-woofer and I spent a good deal of time searching for an interconnect. The interconnects I looked at ranged from ridiculously over-priced to questionably cheap. I knew I wanted it to be THX certified and of a length that would allow me some freedom of sub-woofer placement. This interconnect provided both at a very reasonable price. I must say after installing my subwoofer that this cable was a perfect choice.
Some might say that the cost reflects a cables ability to provide good sound. Wrong. This is just as good as those 70 dollar interconnects. I do buy monster cable for most of my home theatre needs, but I do not buy into some of the hype surrounding Monster cable and their more expensive cables.
Why only 4 and not 5 stars. I did not like the way the cable was packaged. The cable was folded down the middle and now the center of the cable has a crook in it. I would have perfered it to be wound around a plastic spool to avoid folding of the cable.
Getting past that, its a good interconnect that produces great sound.

Difference between the other Monster THX subwoofer cable and the THX I100SWNF pictured here
(4 out of 5) by Danimal on Apr 15, 2009 (Wisconsin)Just incase anyone is wondering what the difference is between this Monster THX subwoofer cable that is 16 feet and the other one on Amazon that is 16 feet as well, one has retail packaging and the other does not.
I actually bought both of them to see what the difference is and the "NF" in the product code actually means "No Frills." The I100SWNF comes in a simple ziplock bag and the other comes in the typical monster retail plastic. Also, there was no plastic spool on mine as others have mentioned. It was just thrown in the bag. I ended up returning this one and getting the retail packaging with the other.

Good Cable
(5 out of 5) by Timothy Hallberg on Jan 9, 2007Does what it's supposed to do. I really don't have a good way to objectively rate this cable, but I don't notice any interference with the sub woofer it is used with.

Good Stuff
(5 out of 5) by J. J. Blanche on Jan 3, 2007 (Philly, PA)These THX cables are everything you could/would expect from a high quality sub cable. Good stuff.
EDIT: I forgot to mention...the most thorough review here mentions the only downside being the way this cable is packed. I was distinctly worried about this when I put my order in. However, when the package came, I noticed the cable was, in fact, wrapped around a plastic spool, without any kinks or bends. Either the reviewer was mistaken, or Monster changed its packaging since he posted. Either way, my original review/rating remains...quality cable with ample length and a great price.

Works as
(5 out of 5) by Justin on Jun 4, 2009 (Washington, DC)This cable works as promised, with the typical Monster ends that are very tight around the RCA plug. I would recommend it to others.
