Thanks. Fishing down the wire will be my preference, if they didn't secure the wires to the beams in the ceiling. I can't believe they used phone cable!!!!

Great forum, everyone. But this neophyte needs help!!!
My electrician ran a cable for me through the ceiling for my RSW-10 subwoofer to connect to my Denon 3805 receiver in our new basement.
But here is the catch: the cable he ran is not an RCA or a normal speaker wire, it is four shielded wires (black, white, green, red)I think that is used for CAT-5 installations. What can I do? The hook up for the RSW-10 has four posts, so I can + -/+ - for those four wires. But the Denon only has a plug for the subwoofer. What would you do if you were me (besides fire the electrician)?

Does anyone have an opinion about matching RB-25s, RC-25 and RCR-3s and RW-8 sub for a surround sound home theater package? I would team it with either a Yamaha rxv-1400 or an Onkyo 601 or 701 and the Samsung 61-inch DLP.
Let me add...we are putting the RB-25s and the RC-25 in built-ins in the front, and my other half really doesn't want the rears to be visible...thus we are putting them in the ceiling for aesthetics. Are we making a big mistake?
Subwoofer cable vs. audio RCA cable?

Here is the next chapter on my lovely subwoofer issue from last week. The electrician says the wire is a 16/4 speaker wire that works fine for subwoofers (but only if it is a passive subwoofer!!!) The friendly folks at Klipsch (very very helpful by the way) said if I can't fish an RG-6 with RCA heads through the ceiling, here is what to do:
At the subwoofer: Twist the wires into pairs and connect.
At the receiver: Use two banana plugs and connect the same wires into my main Left and Right speakers.
Klipsch said it may affect my LFE-only effect, but performance will be okay.
Thank you Klipsch for your guidance. Anyone else care to weigh in?
