Using Cat5/Coax/T&E for Subwoofer speaker cable

["James Winspear" <james.winspear@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  I'm trying to figure out where to put a subwoofer in my Living
Room
for a Home cinema setup.  The most obvious location only has a
double-gang power socket, and a single gang, twin coax, twin Cat5
socket
- no speaker cable run to here.  

  As I understand it, I could technically, run the audio signal
over
T&E, Coax and Cat5 with less-than-perfect quality.

-         Is this the correct
quality order? T&E over Coax (CT125) over
Cat5.



Also, as it's for a sub, don't they all have to be powered?  Which
would
mean that I'd need to use one of the power sockets for power, and that
re-using the other T&E cable for audio would provide rubbish
quality
(hum?) because it'll be run in parallel with the power cable all the
way
back to Node0?



Neither of the coax cables are currently used, could I usefully re-use
one of these to carry the sub signal?  I'm no audiophile (at all!),
but
would this be OK?



Would the coax quality be bettered by using a Kat5 solution (aren't
they
currently more appropriate for AV/video signals not for speakers?)



Thanks



James
