Re: QED X-Tube Range?

Hello Mike,

It is absolutely critical that you obtain a cable with low inductance for a run of this length unless you want to completely eliminate the upper end of your frequency response.

I wouldn't normally post information about a product that we sell, except for the fact that we have a product that fits your specs perfectly that you may not find otherwise since we market it to the car audio industry. If the bored members decide to delete this post, oh-well, I tried to help.

Our 14 AWG Bosc speaker cable is a star quad design that has a small diameter (minimized for auto installs). The inductance is incredibly low, while still maintaining a very reasonable capacitance. If you can give slightly more space, the 12 AWG would be even better. Although specs are not yet published, you can view below:

14 AWG - 0.23" Diameter, Inductance - 0.07 microH/ft - 50 pF/ft
12 AWG - 0.30" Diameter, Inductance - 0.07 microH/ft - 50 pF/ft

No matter what you decide to go with, make sure it has a low inductance. Best of luck.
