Another question. I really feel like a newb sometimes...

I need 2 times 35' of wire for my 2 subs, but I can't find anyplace to buy a 35' long sub cables. My 2 subs needs each a single RCA connection.

Someone did suggest to use a RG6 cable for my subs. How am I suppose to connect my Servo-15 with a RG6 cable? Can someone explain how to connect a RCA plug on a RG6 cable? How can i go from RG6 to RCA?

I have over 500' of RG6 lying around...

Thank you.

Alain, talk to Lex about his CatCables sub-cables, the CoolCats. I bought two 6 meter Blue Tigers for my subwoofer runs and have been very happy with them.

Levesque, I can fix you up with a couple of nice 35 foot sub cables, professionally done, no compromise and very very flexible, more so than any RG6.

I'll do those for you for 47.50 each plus shipping. I don't make that much, but I get some cats in your hands. Who knows, you might like them well enough you come back for some more.

Shipping does run a bit to Canada, likely around 22.00 for this weight.

Bam, you french talking whako!

Yeah... I knew that's what Bam was saying! ... not a chance

I did take 2 years of French in high school but don't remember squat. Okay... maybe I caught a couple of those words.



I just ordered a 50' cable from Lex for my sub or rather for a sub that will possibly be mine soon.

Thank you Lex.

I did send you an E-mail! 8)

Everything goes well, but there is always some annoying delays... We are doing 2 rooms at the same time (you know... I got my HT so my wife wanted her room also... sigh... she knows the tricks...), so we are waiting for the new foyer (800 pounds!) and the 3 new panoramic windows (600 pounds each!) to come in before we can close the walls in my HT (we have to pass through the HT to reach her room).

And the guy doing the concrete brick wall can't come before next week... So we are in an idle state... :cry:

Mais tout vient a point a qui sait attendre!

Well, for a setup where you can change and keep an RCA cable of any type, audio, video, digital coax, subwoofer, etc, I would go with Cat Cables. If however, you're going to install something in the walls permanently and not be able to keep it, like I did in my theater, you can easily attach an RCA connector to RG6 coax. I did this, using connectors from Parts Express. (click on the link at the top of the page to access Parts Express)

[LEVESQUE]

Thank you Chris. Argghh! I just order over 1K$ from PartsExpress last week! Too late... The shipping and border crossing fees are awful to come up here in Quebec... Will try to find it locally....

I have another question.

Resilient channel (RC). What's the difference with wood walls? Does it really make any difference? Why are some poeple going with those instead of ''regular'' wood framing and studs?

Thank you.
