#23625 - 03/21/06 10:22 PM RG6 for subwoofer cable
edcon Gunslinger Registered: 01/04/06 Posts: 61 Loc: Charleston, South Carolina	I have always used premade (i.e Monster) standard subwoofer cable with RCA connections. Anyone have experience using RG6 cable and using a wall plate "F" Jack to RCA Jack? Any issues with doing this?

Brad225 Gunslinger Registered: 12/27/05 Posts: 88 Loc: Tampa Fl	edcon, I posed this same question not to long ago when I was going to run new wire to my subs. Consensus was it was fine to do exactly what you are doing. It is working fine for me. Some people said they use 59 over 6 as it is more pliable. Brad

edcon Gunslinger Registered: 01/04/06 Posts: 61 Loc: Charleston, South Carolina	Thanks Brad225, I see the thread now, I overlooked. Thanks for the response. I am getting ready to move into a new home, which has been prewired for 7.1, and noticed they had terminated with F connectors for the sub. Good to know it will not be an issue because to run new wire would be very painful. Thanks again. _________________________ Outlaw 990/7125; Parasound HCA 1500A; Samsung LN52B630; OPPO-BDP-83 Blueray Belkin PureAV PF60; B&W 604S3 Mains; B&W LCR600 S3 Center; B&W 600S3 LS, RS, LB, RB Outlaw LFM-1 Compact Subwoofer; Boston Voyager 3 (Outdoor zone 2); Harmony One
