RE: Using Cat5/Coax/T&E for Subwoofer speaker cable

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

If its an active sub that your running from your AV Amp then you may
well be connecting with a single phono plug lead? Don't know your setup
though. Keith can probably do you a KAT5 phono unit if that's the case.

Many thanks
