Ordered z-5500 speakers tonight

[imported_Wanger]

I think i'll end up needing some longer speaker wires. Whats the name of the wiring that i'll need? Do they sell it at bestbuy or some place like that?

I don't think you can fit more than 16 gauge through the Z-5500 binding posts, if even.

It's just called "speaker wire", but yeah, you aren't going to be able to get any kind you want. (As long as you get the speaker wire version and not the RCA version, but I'm pretty sure they're all speaker wire at this point)

Don't get expensive stuff if you end up doing this. Gauge (thickness) is by far the most important factor here (not brand / price)

And seeing how low power/low quality the speakers are...its probably not worth anything higher than cheap 16 gauge

Or just go to your local Home Depot and pick up a 50 or 100ft spool for cheap.
