Solution
Generally you use a coax (digital) with RCA terminators to connect the two, though that's mostly do to longer runs, but you can use regular RCA wire too. You'll just use one wire from the sub pre-out on the receiver to the sub, doesn't matter what color you choose, it's all the same and for that matter you might be able to separate the wires so you only have one cable without have the other two loose with it.

It'll most likely be fine, it's line level that's outputed. If anything you might get some outside interference, if that happens you can just get a coax cable then, they aren't that much just a few dollars for a 10 foot run.
