Klipsch satellite to sub cable

I want to change the skinny satellite-to-sub cable bundled with my Klipsch GMX 2.1, should I just cut the stock cable and put a beefier cable or should I buy a new branded cable? Any guide to make it?

Hey there, and Welcome to Head-Fi.

Here are some questions for you:

What kind of connectors are currently on the end of this cable?
Are there any at all?
Is it wired direct?
What are your skills with wiring and general DIY?

The gmx uses a 2 conductor wire that has a rca on one end that plugs into the speaker. Honestly the money to benefit ratio makes this change not worth it unless you are wanting to have a small project or wanting to change the length. Don't get your hopes up for a performance upgrade.

You mean changing the cable wont have huge effects on sound quality? What about the capacitor inside the pre-amp and amp on the woofer. They looks cheap (brand is C-DA?), would changing to better capacitor would improve sound quality?
