Best RG6/RCA Compression Connectors for Subwoofer Cable


I’m looking to use Belden 1694a cable for a subwoofer run. I want audiophile quality compression connectors to adapt the RG6 to an RCA connection.

Ewww Monster is horrible and I’m not putting anything Monster in my theater walls. They are horrible. I’m sure they use stranded core wires, as in plural wires at that.

Actually, a lot of audiophiles use RG59 for subwoofer cable, and R6 solid copper is an improvement over that. Blue Jeans cable makes them using the method I intend to use.

This is a powered subwoofer mind you, so the signal going to the subwoofer is DIGITAL Line Out, for which RG is perfect for long runs and maintains constant 75 ohm impedance. Now, if you were talking about a passive sub receiving an analog signal, I would agree with you.

I found that Canare makes connectors like I am searching for. Not sure if there is anything better. If anybody knows please let me know.
Belden 1694a Cable is not copper clad steel. It’s solid copper. Yes I know it’s techinically not RG6 according to MILSPEC but everybody just calls it RG6. I saw the whole thread argument where RG6 is technically copper clad steel.

Just out of curiousity, what’s your take on RG59, because 90% of companies making subwoofer cables are using that and it’s the exact same as RG6 type solid copper line just smaller and more flexible. 
Remember, this line is going in-wall and therefore needs to be fire rated as CL2 or CM.

Every search I perform on google for In-Wall subwoofer cable comes up RG59 or upgrade to RG6!

Every search also says you can’t use regular speaker wires to make powered subwoofer interconnects.
