I use miniature coax for 2-conductor (center plus shield) audiopatch
cables, but you'd never fit four of them into the common plug (for
combining two stereo circuits). A better solution would be some of the
specialty miniature shielded twisted pair cable that companies like
Belden make for portable use with microphones. It IS possible to
shoehorn two of them into a Switchcraft plug.
BUT -- Bob, K4TAX is right about it being a really bad idea to tie
output stages together. While they are probably protected by series
resistance (good designers do that so when folks do dumb stuff the
output stages don't fry), the resistance will also lose a lot of signal.
I do NOT recommend Behringer products -- in the pro audio world they
have earned a really bad reputation for lousy build quality, poor
support, and ethics. The good brands (and companies) making good stuff
for this kind of application are Rane, Mackie, and Radio Design Labs
(RDL). Look for their products on their websites, then chase down used
items on the usual places.

As others pointed out RG-174 has only one internal conductor. You need to
tie two lengths together for a three-conductor cable, but for a short
pigtail such as a Y-adapter that shouldn't be a problem.
