Best RG6/RCA Compression Connectors for Subwoofer Cable

I’m looking to use Belden 1694a cable for a subwoofer run. I want audiophile quality compression connectors to adapt the RG6 to an RCA connection.

The RG6 will make things work, but would not be my first choice. If it's not possible to use a factory made subwoofer cable, then I would use a twisted pair with drain from Mogami cable and terminate with quality RCA's. Mogami quad 2534 cable would even be better, but it's a little more difficult to terminate.

Another similiar choice would be Belden 1800F, which is CL2 rated. Retired now, but worked over 25 years in the A/V industry with ~15 years of designing and supervising install of home theater. Have listened to many subwoofers connected with quality RG6 and twisted pair audio cable. Twisted pair sounds better and also, there is an advantage that the shield is not used in the path of the signal like RG6.
