If you are only extending a few more feet, any old wire will do - just
make sure you can identify which is which. If they are going to be
really long, make the wire reasonably thick.

That's all

Thanks, one is only going up a few feet whilst the other will be off to the
other side of the room ( about 11 feet)

Any old wire will do for 11 feet. Got any old phone or networking
cable? That will have all you need in one covering.

Sure, if you don't mind losing half your power to the wire and having your
setup sound like crap. All the advantages of buying Bose. Maybe a trip to
an audiophile store would be in order if you're looking for the most
mediocre and distorted sound possible. It would not only give you that
special feeling of pride that comes from using junk room wire playing
MacGyver, but would also let you have the special of pride that comes from
having spent too much.

If you're not looking for a terrible sounding system, just go to the
hardware store and get some 14-16 guage speaker wire. Solder the connection
if you or a friend has the skills.
