Thanks for all the good input. Since I'm only running about 25 feet and have pleanty of UTP, I'll double up and use 4 pair for left and 4 pair for right. If this doesn't work as planned then I'll just have to rip it out and spring for the speaker wire. What gauge does 4 strands of 24ga UTP equal? Or is it a moot point?
The Cat5 will work, the only tough part will be connecting all those solid wires to the amp. But, 25 feet of 14 gauge zipcord (speaker cable) will set you back all of $5, maybe $10 if you get unlucky with the price.
