Yes, but speaker wire is only good for audio up to about 25 kHz. It has a frequency limiting component in the wire alloy that must be removed in order to use this type wire at RF. This removal procedure is fairly easy to accomplish. First, soak the wire in a bucket of laundry detergent and water over night, then remove the wire and rinse it thoroughly. After assuring the wire is dry, place in an oven set to about 150 degrees for about 3 - 4 hours. In lieu of the oven, you can also place the wire in an afternoon of summer sun. After that, place the wire on the ground and hold a 2 meter hand-held over the wire, approximately a foot away and key up the radio for 20 seconds at a couple watts output. If you see no reaction, sparking, especially tingling in your ears, or physical movement of the wire, it is now safe to use as an antenna.
