I have a powered sub and I currently have this connected with a single subwoofer cable that used to run across the floor. I'm moving to a different room in the house and am going to wire the room so I can put all the wires out of sight in the walls.
This is on the first floor with an unfinished basement so I can run cables into the walls from underneath.
What I want to avoid is buying a long subwoofer cable and running it directly from the received through the wall, under the floor and back through the wall again, but if this is my only option I'll do that.
What I want to do is add a jack behind the reciever and a jack near where the subwoofer will be. If you can understand my diagram below:
receiver -cable 1-> <jack> -cable 2- <jack> <-cable 3- sub
My questions are:
- What type of Jacks should I use? What type of connection?
- What exactly is inside a Subwoofer cable? I really should ask what should I run between the two jacks (cable 2 above).
- What should cable1 and cable 3 in the diagram be? This depends on what the jacks end up but the end to the receiver and sub would be a RCA jack (I think that's the name of it).
Thanks in advance,
