rs1cs2 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 My new subwoofer will be about 10' from the receiver, but due to the architecture of my house, I need to run about 30-40' of cable in order to connect it. It has been suggested that I use RG6 Coax in the walls, terminated with RCA connectors. Any thoughts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan2 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I had similar situation. Previously I had a six foot sub cable but had to be changed to 40 ft. due to some room modifications. I hear no difference in sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 That will do just fine you can pick up the required parts at Radio Shack. The longest run I've done sor far was 50 ft worked like a champ! and in the end saved $$$! ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J This message has been edited by JTS8 on 01-22-2002 at 09:39 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 This sounds like the old 50' max on a serial cable rule. (folks run serial cable in the computer business hundreds of feet with no problem) Same applies here, Your receiver should be able to push a audio signal 50' to a speaker without a problem. Hook it up and forget it. Dont spend the extra money on that other junk. ------------------ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
