That's what it looks like to me, a 50 ft. roll of 2-conductor cable, and 
per the resistance chart on the link I sent previously, 12 gauge should 
be good for up to 90 ft. runs to an 8 ohm load.  If you've priced wire 
in the hardware store lately, this is a great deal!    Another good 
durable solution is to buy heavy duty extension cords when they're on 
sale and chop the ends off.  This solved an ongoing problem for a buddy 
whose mutt seemed to think his speaker wires were chew toys.

As for admitting to playing records over 100 milliwatt Part 15 
transmitters, I can safely say I did that.    And......(checking statute 
of limitations here....)...I may have even considered 100 milliwatts to 
be more of a "suggestion" than an absolute limit ;-)
