DIY Subwoofer cable?

[Devil_909]

I have seen people say that you can make your own subwoofer cable from RG6. My question to you all is if this is possible and where can i pick up compression fittings that will plug into both the receiver and sub. I have to run about a 30foot stretch and would much rather make my own cable since I have the RG6 and tools.

I used a RG6 cable that had the F connectors on both ends. I then purchased F to RCA adaptors.

or compression connectors can be used.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. TY

I use the Canare stuff, but it requires specialty tools for the crimping. makes a great cable and cables I've made for friends and clients have paid for them now.

I also decided to invest in F-conn connectors, since they can be used on generic RG6, RG6 quad, and RG59 that I usually have plenty of extra of. Supposedly they need specialty connectors, but I got a generic crimp tool that is adjustable and it works fine.
