    I am in the process of doing something very similar myself. I am using RG-6 coaxial cable for the long subwoofer runs. I would use RG-6 instead of RG-59 and make sure it is solid copper conductor (not copper coated steel as many of the cheap ones are) and has good shielding (at least double shielded if not quad shielded). Bluejeans cable sells some nicely terminated Belden coax for this purpose. Otherwise you can get good coax for even cheaper elsewhere. As far as I know most coaxial cable is rated for in wall use.

    Then you will likely need a couple adapters to connect the F-type connections on the coax to RCA. You can get these and the wall plates at any number of locations (Rat Shack, Parts Express, Accessories for less).

    Of course you could just get a subwoofer cable from bluejeans for whatever length you need and not need to mess with the adapters. Not sure this is "in-wall" rated though. And, it will be more expensive this way since it is a "subwoofer" cable and not just a coax cable even though its the same thing.

    I have the same thing... Go to Parts Express for the RG-6 and the adapters. I ended up with quad shield, more of a good thing is better, right? The F-type to RCA adapters are bulkhead fitttings, that is, they have a thread and jam nut so that you can make a custom wall plate. It works really well.

    They also sell high quality "in-wall" architectural speaker cable. It has an additional sheathing on it.
