Y Yamaman Junior Audioholic Oct 1, 2004 #4 Are there absolutely no issues with using RG6 as subwoofer cable? I ran a line anways because I just can't afford the standard sub cable since I'm looking at a 40' run

In my experience, there's no audible difference using the name brand subwoofer cables. If you can afford the cost and prefer to purchase retail, your satisfaction and happiness is what counts.

RG 6 type or as JohnA posted, you can link two from partexperss that is long enough for you. I'd go for either if the price is close enough, or the lesser cost if it is a lot different

Y Yamaman Junior Audioholic Oct 2, 2004 #9 Well, I purchased RG6 at $0.25 a foot from my favorite HT store. Good quality cable and dirt cheap!
