I wouldn’t fiddle around with DIY or anything like that. There’s just too many absolutely phenomenal speaker cables out there on the used market, in your price range, that would perfectly fit your needs. Do the research, figure out what you like, then find a nice pair of pre-owned speaker cables on one of the used high-end audio websites. Purchasing used can get you way more cable for the money. I’ve been doing it that way for over 25 years with great success, and it has saved me a ton of money in the process. Happy listening.
