I build my own speaker cables using cat 8 ethernet cable and adding spade or banana connectors.
I use 24awg
8 strands 24 awg is equal to 15 awg. 8 x 26awg equal to 17awg.
I would make both lengths the same (longer) length for flexibility in the future,
you need some slack to get down, across, out/up to spkr, not sure if you included that in your 10 meter estimate?.
using 12 meter x 4 (2+, 2-) = 4 runs 43lf. I would buy 4 cables 50lf, and cut length to what I wanted.
cat 8: various lengths, various colors
cut off the ethernet connectors, strip 8 strands, twist or crimp together, add connectors
stripper/crimper
I used different color cables for + and -, but the connectors are color coded so the same color cable can be used.
banana plugs, wbt type, 2 set screws
banana plugs, alternate type
spades, 2 set screws
there are advantages to removable connectors.
