Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Good subwoofer cable suggestions?

Hey Rick,

Isn't this how you set up you sub wiring?

Rick I bought a 1000' spool of quad shielded Tributaries RG6 for all of our in-wall runs and had some subwoofer cables made up as well. My wall plates for the subwoofers terminates with female F connectors and the F connector male end of the made from the spool of RG6 subwoofer cable plugs into the wall plate. I didn't need to use any adapters because the folks who terminated all of my wall plates also made the subwoofer cable for me.

The adapter you show would be for the wall plate terminal end while the adapter that Marks shows should be for the connection to the Subwoofer itself, right?

My mistake. I didn't see that the OP was looking for wall plates!

Hmm, ok wid and Mark, just run cable (tv) coax and terminate it at the wall as usual. Then, run a sub cable/rca connector as you described from amp to wall, then wall to sub. That's simple enough.

Last time I attempted an HT, I forgot to install the subwoofer cables during the build and had to just try to hide them around the baseboard with a monoprice 25ft cable. Sounded good. Looked pretty makeshift though.

I'm hoping to locate four wall plates around the room for subwoofer locations in order to find the optimal location for a single sub (EP-600)as per Dr. Floyd Toole's paper. It's a whole lot easier to do now than after the walls go up.

CG, I'd do six if I were you, one in each corner and one on each sidewall ... it's better to have too many and not use them than it is to not have enough when you do need them.

Good call. Who know's, if the ecconomy doesn't totally implode and when the smoke clears, I may actually be able to spring for a second sub. More possible locations, better outcome. Thanks!

Whenever we built our room I had no idea our single 600 would have ended up mid-side wall where it is now, fortunately I did install the subwoofer wall plates so I really lucked out by doing that. That was the reason for my suggestion.

If I were to do it all over again, I would run coax to all center points of the wall and/or the corners depending on the room setup.

I see HSU now offers wireless option for their top of the line subs, that would be killer for setup and not having to worry about cables.

Why doesn't Axiom look into Wireless.

Did you ever try corner loading it? That was my last best location and I was pretty happy with the results.

What would we do with all of that extra wire Randy?
