Thank you, however, I if I can get RCA cord in there, I can get subwoofer cable in there. My problem is that without some luck or a bit of wall work, I am stuck with the standard speaker wires and want to know if I can somehow use them between the receiver and the subwoofer.

I remodeled my home, planning to eventually get a Dolby digital A/V receiver instead of my surround sound receiver, and then also purchase a good subwoofer. I had speaker wires run through the walls and then under the tile/concrete in conduit, not knowing anything about Dolby digital receivers or powered subwoofers. I just purchased a Harmon-Kardon AVR 525 and a Klipsch RW 12 subwoofer and find myself in a bit of trouble as the receiver has a line-out for the subwoofer and I don't have an easy way of getting subwoofer cable to the subwoofer. Can I use one of the speaker wires (I think 16 AWG) or even two together and attach an RCA plug on either end to use the subwoofer? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I did some home remodelling, planning on buying a Dolby digital receiver and a subwoofer a bit later. For the subwoofer, I had regular speaker wire run through the walls and under the tile floor. Now that I have purchased a Harmon Kardon AVR 525 and a Klipsch RW 12, I realize the receiver's output for the subwoofer is an RCA plug and subwoofer cables are recommended for the subwoofer. I cannot change this wiring now and can't run the wire accros the floor. Can there be a way to use the 16 gauge wire to run the subwoofer? Can I attach an RCA plug on one/both of the speaker wires and use this? Any suggestions are very much appreciated as I have this new equipment and have to find a way to use it.
