Xlr for speakers

balanced or unbalanced cable for that

Speaker wire, gauge would depend on the length of the run. Lampcord at your local hardware store could possibly work if the gauge is good for your length/impedance. Try the chart in this article https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/speaker-wire-gauge

This is a less-conservative table for the length/impedance/gauge http://roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#wiretable

Those black connectors aren't XLR, they're made to accept Neutrik connectors. XLR don't twist to lock, either.

WRT the cable in the walls for the line level signals with XLR connectors- cable isn't balanced, the circuits in the equipment are. Cables like that are called 'shielded twisted pair' or, if it has four conductors plus the shield and 'drain', 'quad shielded'.

Shielded wire isn't used for speakers and part of the reason PA and quasi-PA amps have Neutrik is due to the higher voltage and current that comes with much higher power- don' do it.

Not for in-wall or in-ceiling use- that's a code violation.

I'm trying to use what I already have in place

You can't. The XLRs in your amp are not speaker outputs. You will have to run new cables, and when you do run them in conduit, like tech tubes for instance.

The picture on you amp, shows that you require Neutric Speakon connectors.

It's a mixer with amplifier inside and well, power ratings sell......
