Outdoor Speaker Setup with landscape lighting wire

[jhu]

Please help me validate my outdoor speaker setup!

I have a pair of Klipsch KHO-7 (8 Ohm, 75 Watt continuous, 150 Watt peak) sitting outside about 110 feet away from the source.

I am planning on taking 250 feet of 12/2 low voltage landscape lighting wire ( https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-250-ft-12-2-Black-Stranded-CU-Low-Voltage-Landscape-Lighting-Wire-55213444/300836209 ), cutting it in half, and using it to connect the two speakers.

I am planning on using a AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 Power Amplifier 300Wx2 HiFi Class D Audio Amp ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CJZGT6H ). Connected to it will either be a Raspberry Pi 3b via 3.5 mm jack or a Chromecast through a HDMI to RCA converter - both devices I already own.

Does anyone see any issues or things that can be improved upon in this setup?

Thanks!

I assume the electronics will be brought inside when the system isn’t in use? Otherwise, don’t see any reason why it won’t work fine. Have fun!

How large is the area that you want the sound to cover? It would be better to use more speakers, rather than trying to achieve the coverage with two and by cranking the level.

The long run is to my server closet... So only the wiring and speakers will ever be outside.

Only a 10 x 13 space. Southern California yard with only a small entertaining space...

Probably work fine, altho a shorter speaker cable if possible wouldn't be a bad thing. Are the electronics dedicated to outside use or also used inside?

Dedicated for outside use but stored inside the house.
