Hi Tom,

It would be better to put a 'proper' line level cable in if you still
have the option, but you can physically do it with two speaker cables
and phono connectors (although you might need a resistor to match
impedance).

Thanks Nick

I am planning to route a line level signal only ie., using the RCA
connection on the back of my cinema amp) - Will a line level signal
be ok to transport using speaker cable to my subwoofer line in??
