Acoustic Audio 10 inch home theatre powered subwoofer use speaker wire or subwoofer cable?
Use a long RCA cable.
If you use speaker wire - you have to run wires from the left/right outputs to the sub, then more wire from the sub to the left/right speakers.
Then you have to tell your receiver your left/right speakers are LARGE and you do not have a sub to get things to work.
A single long RCA cable is simpler. You can even make your own with pre-terminated CATV coax and some "F-to-RCA-Male" adapters from Radio Shack. Subwoofer signals work fine and do not need any kind of higher end RCA cable.
