    Wireing needed for Front wall sub

    I am running wires for front wall. I have not purchased my sub yet, actually I may even try one of the sonotube designs I have seen in here.

    I am wondering what wires I would run to the front right and left corner of my front wall to accomodate any type of sub I may buy or build.

    Would 1 rg-6 and 2 pairs of 10ga wire be fine to cover any type of sub I may encounter? I should I add anything else to the box..some cat5 maybe?. Plus my 120v outlet or course.

      Hey Freon,
      Just read your framing question and put a bit in there about an under floor-riser sub. If you are considering building your own, you can throw some drivers under the riser, mount them to the face, and get some deep bass, or so the gurus on here are telling me. I will begin mine as soon as we get the roof on the house. Anyway, if you are interested, let me know and I will direct you to the forum link and tell you what I know.

          I have not ruled that option out yet either.

              I'm running my sub through the speaker level outputs so mine is very fine strand 12 gauge copper speaker cable.

                  If you have to run the cables through walls you'll most likely have to use inwall approved cables to meet code requirements. Home Depot sells some nice 12 gauge inwall wire that comes in a green outer jacket. Its what my whole house audio is wired with.

                      In-Wall Speakers
                      by JustinSC
                      So in my other theater projects I've always done towers (NatP and Modula MTM). Working on the basement and thinking about the design of a new HT set-up and with kids and such I think in-wall front speakers instead of floor standing speakers will be best. I saw a thread about NatP in-wall and that...

                      When I built our theater a few years ago, I found out the hard way that there is a LOT of low frequency information in the front channels (not on the LFE track). I could have routed this to the LFE sub (which is built into the rear seating platform) but I wanted to keep a high-quality sub up front for...

                      FINALLY got my BoseBuster sequel done and written up!! I've shortened the name to BBV2 so I don't get any hassle from Bose. Next I'll be finishing the Scan Disco TM and MTM, the other flavors after. My Soma Sonus site is now hosting my projects. Here is copy of that page:

                      Behind wall subwoofer?
                      by bluuz
                      Hi,

                      I was wondering if anyone could help me out - I'm relatively new to the Home Theater world, and am moving into a new home in a few weeks. I've talked my wife into allowing me to install a HT system in the family room, on the condition that I keep the electronics and other equipment...

                      by Andrew Pratt
                      I've had my dual tempests now for quite a long time (for me anyway) and I've got the itch to build something again so I've decided to redo my subs. Currently my low end is being provided by two subs that are about 220L in size and ported to 17 hz. Each one is loacted in the front corner of my HT behind...
