  1. coaxial cable as in the home-cable kind? or the plug-n-play type?

    either is fine if your connections allow for it, best way is to weigh the pro’s vs. cons of either style of cable, and to ask if you really need to change, or are u getting the sound you want.

    Coaxial:
    PRO: wide range connections, easy to keep connected, clear signal, durable life.
    CON: Hard to remove in tight spots, can receive interference if not shielded cable, cost a bit more.

    RCA:
    PRO: broad range of uses, universal connection, cost less, easy to connect, Easy to replace cheap.
    CON: less powerful signal over long distance, thinner can pick up more interference, easy to snag-and break.

  2. You will have no problem using a digital coaxial cable as a subwoofer cable.

  3. yes you can but it isn’t necessary I usually use RG6 quad shielded cable

  4. Both cables will work fine.

    But if the "red plugs of an RCA cable.." wire is a decent RCA cable – why change it? Are you just cleaning up the clutter?
