I have done this with great results, I would use the gold plated RCA to F connector adapters at the ends and definitely use RG-6 cable (bigger conductor, less loss). I have also went out and bought 40 feet of sub cable only to have someone jam the connector into the sub and break off the sleeve of the connector (good thing it wasn't my sub! ) if it is coax cable you just yank off the adapter and go to radio shack and buy another one.
