DIY Speaker wire

I have read multiple posts about using 10 awg solid core copper wire for speaker wire. Anybody use 10-3 romex? It has 3 shielded wires and one bare inside a plastic sheath. I am bi- ampping and am considering using this for each side instead of (4) single wires.

What about using solid core thermostat wire as speaker cable?

Southwire 18/5 Thermostat wire.

I saw this mentioned on the net before and seemed like something fun and inexpensive to try out.
