I disagree with mtrycrafts. If your receiver has the sub out, the signal to the sub is audio, so yes you can use the speaker wire with RCAs at each end. However, you had better be skilled with tools because it will be tough. Most if not all RCAs are not designed to accept a wire as large as 14 gauge, they use much smaller wire since the signal is line level (millivolts and milliamps) not speaker level (volts and amps). Now, if your receiver does not have the sub out, you'll need that 14 gauge or even larger
