Not always. I remember purchasing an Acoustic Research cable from Best Buy and it was utter garbage. It had so much resistance that my sub was constantly turning off unless the volume was up high. Replaced it with a sub cable from Blue Jeans Cable and haven't had a problem since.Originally Posted by pioneerisloud 
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I really hope you didn't spend more than a few dollars on that cable. Copper wire is copper wire....gold plated doesn't matter at all. It's just a subwoofer signal wire.
The "wimpy one from Onkyo" was likely MORE than enough to function correctly, but you just had a bad cable. A subwoofer cable from monoprice for $1 would have been just fine.
I am glad you got it sorted though.

There's more to wire just being made of copper(which most RCA plugs aren't made of). The cable's LCR(inductance, capacitance, and resistance) all have a role in the quality of the cable, along with the quality of it's termination, shield, etc...
