Mike,

No need to stress over the Canare. Subwoofer applications are about the least critical of any in a home theater; people use standard coax for them all the time. The impedance issue really only relates to video applications anyway. I expect that any RCA capable of being crimped directly to coaxial cable is going to be 75 ohm. It pretty much has to be.

Regards,
Wayne
Thanks for the input Wayne -- that is enough to get my curiosity up and take some spare 1694A coax, puchase a couple of Liberty and a couple of F-Conn RCA compression connectors (IF I can purchase that small quanity although the shipping would be a killer for 2 connectors) and give them a try running the coax across the floor to the subwoofers -- my dedicated HT is under construction and a couple of months away from completion, so plenty of time to test -- while I don't really like testing any more (age can do that), I still have plenty of curiosity OTOH.

Mike
