Hey, apologize for being a complete dolt when it comes to things like this, and I hope this is the most appropriate forum.

I purchased a set of swan m-10s just to use with my desktop, but the rca connections to the sub are far too short so I'm wondering about how I would go extending them and exactly how much of an impact on sq this would have (I know rca isn't the best to begin with.)

Would a set of RCA VH-70 Jack In-Line Connectors work with RCA AH24 Stereo cables, or am I going about it totally wrong?

Each speaker acts as a satellite by itself so I need some way to extend each cable individually, I'm just hoping that the AH24 Stereo cables are two separate cables, and not linked together.

Anyway thanks for any help you can provide.

Just curious, how did you measure it, ABX?

I was a little sketched out when I saw somebody say this on monoprice

"My sub kept randomly emitting a low hum, sometimes during use and sometimes when it was in standby mode. I thought it was a problem with the sub. Then I started wiggling the wires. When I did that, I could make the sub hum all the time. I got a new RCA wire from RadioShack. No such problems. What do you expect at $1.29? My other monoprice items work great."

On Amazon I found I could order the RCA ones for pretty much the same as the monoprice ones as well after S+H was taken into account, however I couldn't really find any single stereo cables, they all come in pairs. Just a bit annoying, I suppose I could try to separate em but I don't have a great tool for it and I don't want to hit the cabling.
