    No, it needs to be "screened cable" so regular speaker cable would be no good.
    The cable you are trying to extend, does it have a phono style connection on the end like this?

    If so, then you can buy some pre terminated screened cable with phono sonnectors on the end already and join them using a phono back-to-back like this...

    Hope that helps.

    Yes they would, however I would suggest you buy a pre terminated lenght of maybe 5M and just use the back to back to extend it. The other option is to buy a "cut" length of the cable and solder on the connectors yourself.
