If you got the Gold Plated subwoofer cable from Radio Shack, you should be okay. Was this the product number? 15-1599.

Theoretically, a sub cable should be 75ohm coax such as RG59 or RG6 with OFC (oxygen free copper)and RCA connectors at each end. There a many cable makers such as bluejeans, canare, bettercables, etc that do it this way.

You can also just buy a 35-40ft of coax cable and add the RCA connects yourself.

RG6 with a solid core conductor, solderless RCA connectors and generic crimpers from Radio Shack.
Or you can get fancy.
