Take a hint and order twice as much as you think you need.Click to see full answer. Likewise, can you connect a subwoofer with speaker wire?The most common method is done by connecting the subwoofer to the SUB OUT or LFE output of a receiver/amplifier. But you might also come across a subwoofer that uses stereo RCA or speaker wire connections. If your receiver or amplifier has enough variety, you should be able to handle most any subwoofer out there.Subsequently, question is, what’s the best speaker wire for subs? Thick wire (12 or 14 gauge) is recommended for long wire runs, high power applications, and low-impedance speakers (4 or 6 ohms). For relatively short runs (less than 50 feet) to 8 ohm speakers, 16 gauge wire will usually do just fine. It’s cost-effective and easy to work with. Similarly one may ask, what cable does a subwoofer use? RCA Can I use coaxial cable for subwoofer?These 75 ohm coaxial RCA cables are perfect for just about any application. They can be used as a good video cable, sub-woofer cable, or anything else that you want a good shielded RCA cable for. You can use them in pairs for a high-end Left/Right Analog cable, or 3 of them for Component Video cables.
