>Parasitic capacitance matters less since you're only sending bass anyway
That's what I was guessing, but I didn't really know, and I wasn't able to find a good tutorial on it. Thanks for the reassurance. I didn't want to spring for a decent woofer and then cripple it with an anemic signal.
> You do want it to have decent shielding though or you'll pick up mains hum
Yeah, the guy who I ordered the cable from insisted I pay extra to use shielded cable... so seems he knew what I needed and what he was talking about. Probably 70 bucks well spent... I won't know until I get it all hooked up and start testing the sound.
I'm really excited about the way my home theater is coming along. It's taking way longer than I planned (was supposed to be done end of January), but it's taking extra time to do it right. Waiting for these custom cables, for example.
So far I've got the walls painted, screen hung, neon sconces wired in, the speakers hung, projector hung, and the walls fished with string to pull hidden speaker cables through the walls next weekend (I would have just pulled actual cable through, but I was waiting for the order of cables to arrive, and was ants-in-the-pants to get the paths figured out, so I did it all with string for now).
Climbing around the attic to fish the strings was a major pain, and took the entire weekend. Nine speaker wires in all to fish. Lots of unforeseen obstacles. Now I just hope no one says "what's this string sticking out of the wall for *yank*".
Also found a sweet mirror that looks like a box office window to hang outside the theater room, adding to the experience.
Hanging this will require me re-positioning the neon sign I had there, raising it so now the entryway looks boss. My kids want to "sell" tickets and collect and tear them as people enter now. 
I looked into adding a display case of candy to one of the back walls, but holy cow are display cases expensive. Like a grand and more. I can build one in for next to nothing... more time, more delay, but will round out the whole theatrical feel.
Curtains for around the screen are coming along nice too. Other than wiring up the speakers, the curtains are the last big thing to do, and then it should be ready for its grand premier.
