PSW10 wiring help needed please

DonTBarnes

I'm having a senior moment that I hope someone can help with. I'm wiring a new room for media. The components in question are:

Pioneer VSX1020
Wall plate: RCA on one side, coax reverse
Polk PSW10

Obviously, RCA from amp to plate. Question I have is how do I go from threaded coax to standard red/black speaker wire?

I'd hate to pull the signal from a speaker passthrough.

Thanks!

Why would you want to do that? Run RCA from the SUBWOOFER preout on the 1020 to the cable, then rca from the plate to the rca input on the subwoofer. No speaker wire necessary. This is the correct way with that receiver.

I am trying to run everything behind the walls (new construction). I don't have any RCA cables remotely long enough. The 7.1 plate (at the receiver) is RCA on one side, coax on the other. My wall plates are red/black speaker plates. I have a zillion feet of speaker cables. What I cannot figure is how to convert a coax to standard speaker wire. Here is a half-fast diagram:

sub-> plate-> speaker cable-> / ? /-> plate-> amp

Based on responses on the AVSORUM, I contacted Monoprice.com and found they have great prices, so I ordered all RCA connectors. plates and cable and will pull what I have installed. Much easier and I'll use the pulled wire elsewhere.
