Using Coaxial in place of LFE cord?

Am I only getting half of what I should, or is this basically the same thing as using a LFE cord?

Did you have one cable going from one output on your reveiver to one input on your sub? Are you now using one of these? :



If so, yeah, it's the same thing. The only difference is that a high quality sub cable probably has a heavier wire and better sheilding, but since the cable is only sending a line level, as opposed to a speaker level signal, it should be just fine.
