Just moved into a new house - old one had horrendous drop ceilings that were awful for aesthetics and amazing for running rear channels! The new one's going to require running under the floor through the basement - no biggie. Decided to take care of my rears and set of B speakers all in one shot, but do a halfway decent job of it for a change. Which brings me to my question:
I want to accommodate four speakers and the cable F-jack, but to conserve space on the panel (I'd like to get away with a six-slot keystone panel), I was thinking about terminating my speaker wire in phono/RCA jacks and using four RCA keystone inserts instead of eight banana jacks.
Other than it's not "technically" right since RCAs are used for line-level inputs, does anyone see a problem with this configuration? Clearly I'll be the only one using this, and I'll most likely be plugging the speakers in exactly once.
So just to sum up and clarify, the idea is to run a length of speaker wire from the receiver which terminates in a phono/rca jack, which would plug into the RCA keystone insert, which would have speaker wire running directly to the speaker itself.
I appreciate the insight!
