If you get too big, the capacitance gets sorta high and you're actually causing problems. You could just solder some RCA type connectors to some double-insulated (foil + braid) RG6. And remember, don't kink the cable. (yes, I know the RG6 designation is depricated, I can't remember the new designation) Unless the Subwoofer cable is 75 ohm, I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, it's for subwoofers after all. I'm sure if you want the Monster logo they have some video cables for you. Heck, they even sell CAT5 these days, and they swear that their CAT5 is the fastest. (which, technically, isn't untrue. But what they fail to mention is that the speed gain is in single digits of nanoseconds) - Eric
