Hi all,

In order for the highest degree of wife-friendliness in my basement finishing project, I have run all cabling through the walls prior to sheetrock.

One oversight, though, is the subwoofer. I tried to be as flexible as possible, running audio channels anywhere I thought they might be useful. The corner I want to use for the subwoofer has a channel of audio run to it with a faceplate in the perfect spot. However, it is just speaker cable, not RCA/coax cable.

I want to use RCA keystone jacks for the receiver end and the sub end, so they are on their way. However, if I "fake" the RCA ends by patching in the speaker cable I have running through the walls will it work [I know it will 'work' electrically but will there be any issues]? Does "RCA" truly need coaxial cable? I wouldn't think so, since it is just a line-level audio signal to be amplified by the sub, but I thought I would ask the experts.

Will I be Okay?

Background info: sub signal is running from pre-out on a Denon 2307 to a Hsu STF-1.

Thank you!

It's actually not such a weird question. It seems to come up here fairly often.

HERE (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=861088) is a current thread discussing it.
