Well I can't seem to find anyone on line that makes cables with an F-connector on one and and a RCA on the other. Appears I would have to buy a small adapter F/RCA to put on my outlets and then use an RCA/RCA cable to the sub. I have the tools to make my own cables and add F Connectors, but not RCA, and I really don't want to buy cables, just to cutoff one of the RCA ends.

You also might want to contact them directly, to see if they'll custom build an RCA/F cable from their normal subwoofer cable stock.

Randy are you buying coax in bulk to do your in-wall runs? If so, use some of that cable and either do the terminal connections yourself or take it to a local AV store and have them make the cables up for you. Sometimes whenever you start adding adapters on the wall plates or cables they can become quite obtrusive into the room.

I was just going to suggest building the cables yourself, HomeDepot has the tool and connectors, I make my own cables all the time.

I guarantee your crimps don't look like Blue Jeans. I have access to some pretty good crimp tools here at work, but after pulling a boot off a BJ cable, there's no point in trying to compete with their work.

guys, as I mentioned above, I make my own coax and fconnectors, just never mad a RCA connector.

Randy, if I was doing this I'd want to do it with the least amount of effort and expense. I'd probably get a short F/F cable such as this to plug into the wall plate and then connect an F/RCA adaptor such as this to the other end to plug into the sub.

Since you apparently already have the coax and F connectors, you can make up the cables yourself and just buy some of the adaptors.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Then why haven't you made your own RCA cables? You can get compression or crimp type ends and then you can make them in any configuration you like smile
