The longer the cable, the more likely this will happen.

How do I connect my subwoofer to my RCA cable?

Connect Using Stereo RCA or Speaker Level Outputs If the subwoofer’s LINE IN uses RCA cables and the subwoofer out on the receiver/amplifier also uses RCA, plug it in using an RCA cable. If the cable is split on one end (a y-cable for both right and left channels), plug it in the R and L ports on the subwoofer.
