new const. what wire or wires to run subwoofer to surround sound all my equipment is in closet.?

Answer 1

You'll want to run a sheilded RG-6 RCA cable to the subwoofer to connect it to the receiver. Try not to let the length get much longer than what you need to actually need to reach the subwoofer location. For the speakers, you'll just run regular speaker wire to each location. If you're running any lengths longer than 50 feet, make sure that you're using at least 14 gauge wire. In my new construction theater room I ran 12 gauge wire all around since it's not that much more expensive and it give the best chance against signal interference.
If you're going to be running these speaker wires inside the walls, make sure you keep a minimum distance of 1 foot from high voltage wires to avoid signal interference and hums. If you must cross a power line, cross it at a 90 degree angle, rather than running alongside it.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

I tend to agree with everything David said, with 2 enhancements:

- Use 12 ga speaker wire.

- If you run in-wall, make sure to buy coax & speaker wires that are CL3 or in-wall rated. This is fire code in many cities. You can get budget-but-good stuff from Parts Express - a speaker building site or the "Carol" brand from Home Depot.

If you need long HDMI cables or component cables to reach the TV, check out BlueJeans. They will even make a long subwoofer cable say 20 ft for $33 if you want a really nice cable.

(Yes it is strange but the custom sites are actually cheaper than retail and usually better quality).

Answer 3

I can't really help on that, I'm not sure how to hook those into a receiver. I don't know what to make of that as receivers with built-in set up use the subwoofer output jack to configure the subwoofer. And where would you hook up the L/R speakers? I guess to the subwoofer L/R outputs.
