Hi I'm looking for the fastest, cheapest way to obtain 50 feet of R-G-B component cables to run from my equipment up to the projector. I mean to say, my projector is about 50 feet away from my components. I am thinking about purchasing 75 ohm coax "antenna" cabling from the local hardware...

Hi Eli. I have an older amp/decoder like yours, an Onkyo probably made 12 or so years ago. Almost all my speakers are just about as old, but still very good. I had it hooked up in the 5:1 configuration with two subs (Powered by another older amp) and it sounded OK, but I could never get it...
