You don't really have many options here. Use speaker wire between the amp and the speakers and make sure you don't short circuit the speaker wires (let different bare speaker wires touch each other).

Depending on how far between them, 12 - 16 gauge should suffice. See this chart for the generally accepted norms. It's better to err on the side of thicker (Lower gauge # = thicker wire), though.
