<font color='#000000'>I sure hope someone can help me with these questions soon - or I'm in trouble

I own a Yamaha RX-V2095 Amplifier. *It has an LFE port that I am currently using to drive my sub-woofer (A Klipsch KSW-300) connected to the &quot;LFE In&quot; on the subwoofer. *I currently have it connected with a Monster M351HWST cable (with RCA connectors on either side). My main speakers are Klipsch KLF-30's and I run a KLF C-7 Center channel. *My rear surrounds are Klipsch Quintets.

I have not been able to run the LFE cable through my attic because it is not long enough and so it currently runs across the floor of the living room. *The WAF (Wife acceptance factor) is very low with this arrangement and I need to build a custom cable that I can run through the wall.

Here are my questions:
1. What is the proper Impedence of the cable that I should use for this project? *

2. Any suggestions on specic cable?

3. This run will be appromixately 55-60 feet - will this be a problem?

Thank you in advance for your help!!

<font color='#000000'>Hi
RG-6 Quad Shield &nbsp;Terminated with RCA or F/RCA Adapters
will be as good or better than anything out there
it will cost you about $0.45 per foot ( Home Depot)just remember to radis the bends when you install it
I use Quad Shield in attics because it is better shielded and
will resist heat much better than standard cable as it is
designed to be used as &quot;drops&quot; from the pole to your house
in outside applications
Hope this helps
