I'd say a V8 4bbl, Mark would say bicycle, Ron would say a 4cyl turbo and Joust would say a 7MGTE 6cyl Turbo.
Not sure though? How would YOU drive it? 
(lol)

With an AMP, just make sure you get one that goes to 11

We use this type of device for displaying manufacturers DEMO's on multiple displays, distance does not seem a problem in the store. Just try connecting a long cable and see if it works for you.

If I make 3 - 35' cables out of RG-6 coax and put on gold RCA compression ends that should give me a clean enough signal after the amp shouldn't it?

That's how I would do it
. Also run Sunoco Ultra for better performance
I used RG6 for my SPDIF cable as well. Worked great.

One word....balun over CAT5/6. OK...so that was more than one word. 
It's easy, inexpensive (about $90.00 for Xmit/Rcv, one on each end of course), and just plain slicker than snot on a brass doorknob. You can go just component over one run of twisted pair, or with 2 runs you can send component AND digital audio. No big fat heavy cable or amps to deal with. Runs can be in the 100's of feet with no loss.
Oh...also available for HDMI connectivity but BIGGGGG bucks right now.

Alright AR, you got me and now I feel like a complete ass. I just googled "Sunoco Ultra" trying to find out what kind of cable it was. No luck. The I tried "Sunoco Ultra Cable" . . . still no luck. Then I realized it was premium gasoline.
very funny

LOL! Sorry  thought most people new that one.
Try Belden RG6 it will be more in keeping with the situation. ( Yes it's actually cable ) Good quality too.
Not made in West Korea though.

Holy crap! I don't have the amp yet and now I'm a little bummed that I ordered it. I made the cables at work today out of some RG6 we had left over from a job. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. I'll hook up the amp when it gets here but I can't imagine it will look too much better than it does now.
