I'm going to need a 25 ft subwoofer cable and this is the first time I'm running this long. Is it still ok to go through either Monoprice or Blue Jean for this cable? Just wanted to make sure the signal remains uneffected.
Sure,,, Why not????
I prefer a digital connection: Either RCA coaxial, or Toslink [optical]
Sadly this true.Many sub amps don't have digital connectors.
Sadly this true.
If your sub has the capability,, then digital is the best.
Here is a Toslink cable

Why would you want the sub doing DAC? AVR is going to do a better job.
The biggest difference is that HDMI can pass higher-resolution audio, including the formats found on Blu-ray: Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. These formats can't get transmitted across optical.

I also use them as interconnects cuz they are beeftastic.

Do you have any digital capabilities on either your amp or on your sub????
"Or", are you going to connect your sub using a line level [2 wire] connection

The more you post in this thread the more confident I get that you're confused about what a "digital" or "line-level" connection actually is. Seems like you are mistakenly using a coax digital cable to pass analog line audio instead of an RCA cable. They have the same connectors. Those "two wire" connectors are for speaker-level inputs.
OP, buy one of the nice RCA cables from monoprice and call it day.
Nah, just RCA connectors. Currently using one cable in LFE port. Theres a pic on this page of back of sub...

Your sub RCA jack is a digital input.
Your off and running with the best way for your installation.:thumbsup:
Connect it to the LFE port.
BTW I like that SUB.
Thanks! I'm very happy with it. I've noticed it's pretty popular among the forums. I'm going to be getting the Bowers & Wilkins 683 S2's, and B&W HTM61 S2 center to go along with it. Should be a nice combo
I have multiple subwoofer outputs [2] on my AVR .
Subwoofer signals come from 2 separate preamps built into the AVR.
The signal output from those preamps is a digital signal, going to, two RCA LFE jacks at the back of the AVR
My 2 self powered subwoofers each have a digital RCA input.
I use RCA coaxial cables to make the connection.
I hope this clears up your confusion.

you are the one confused on what connections are what:
Digital signals are not amplified. Its digital.... line level is after the preamp and before the amp, digital is before the preamp and DtoA. If the connection is labeled "LFE" (low frequency effects) it is line level analog signal from 3 to 120 hz. If it is labeled s/pdif it is digital, either rca or toslink, and full spectrum.
You are using the line level analog output of the preamps on your receiver.
When I had a separate sub I ran this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-wgvVqK0vA4W/p_703SUBX2M/AudioQuest-SUB-X-2-meter-6-6-feet.html
Now my subs are built into my towers.
Old ones.What speakers are you running?
