Speaker and Subwoofer wiring questions

[DL]

I am in the process of finishing my basement and have run speaker the
in-wall Monster CI-Pro for the speakers. I have a couple of questions to
make sure that I have things set before I install the insulation and
sheetrock.

1. I have run the mid and rear speaker connections to a central location
where the HT equipment will be located. I would like to do the same for the
subwoofer line(s) (multiple runs for flexibility) as it is a convenient
channel to run the wiring. For a 6' distance, the speaker wires are run
next to the power (110v 12-2) wires. Will this cause a problem? I was
told that this might cause interference with the speaker or subwoofer
operation.

2. Not seeing any bulk subwoofer in-wall cable, what type and gauge of wire
is best for the subwoofer connection. Can I run more of the 14 gauge CI-Pro
and solder a RCA connection to meet the wall jacks. Does it need to be
heavier gauge than 14? I am installing multiple SW runs to allow for
locating the SW in different locations in the room. The longest run will be
25'.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Run rg6 coax cable with RCA ends. Its that simple.

Thanks for the input. Any comments on the possible interference from the
12-2 outlet power lines?

You could always run shielded cabling if it concerns you...I am by no means
an expert in these matters, but I have worked with industrial equipment that
mixes AC and low voltage control signaling together, and the low voltage
signal leads are always shielded.
