Can you use Cat 5 wire for speakers?

No sir. Once you crimp that end, it’s done. You’ll need a new end.

Does Ethernet cable make good speaker wire?

Honorable. No this wont really work very well. Ethernet is 24awg solid wire, for your 260w power level you should be at minimum using 16awg strandard. Stranded wire allows more current then solid so this would be more like 24gauge solid vs 12 gauge solid.

Is it OK to bundle speaker wires?

IOW, the same kind of cables can run together, but DON”T bundle the speaker cables with the power cables or allow the two kinds of cables to get close together in parallel runs whether bundled or not, because that is when the interference problems occur.

Does speaker wire length affect sound quality?

When long runs (of either interconnects or speaker cables) are used, cable quality becomes extra important. Due to the additional signal losses longer runs impose, the better the cable is at “protecting” the signal, the better will be the sound.
