For most purposes, if you are:
-not making a run over 20'
-using a powered sub
-not listening to techno all day and night (ie for home theater use)
a normal sheilded RCA cable is good enough.
The reason you need to run a larger gauge cable with car audio is because you are running a lot of current, and you want as low resistance as possible.
With a cable between a receiver and a powered sub, it's only carrying signal, and the actual current is very low, so line loss is rather low.
I always shake my head at thes guys from Future Shop that try to sell you $400 cables for a $500 theater-in-a-box systems. :rolleyes:
