Your logic astounds me.

Buy 16 Neutrik dual-bananas and they're less than $2.50/each including shipping. You're probably gonna need some sort of terminals for the Mapleshade wires and four 10" pairs of their cheapest Golden Helix wires are $250 plus shipping. Even if you tried the Moonshine White Lightning and didn't like them you'd be out eight-bucks for the extension cord and still have the best dual-bananas cheaper than you can buy the cheapest from Rat Shack.

Of course if you feel the Helix wires are just fine and you don't need terminals, then don't use any on the White Lightning, either. Just tin them and shove them in your speakers. Without connectors, the White Lightning costs you $8 for two pair of ten-foot cables. Here's what your Mapleshade link says about connectors, and note the cost:
For best sound, we recommend connecting our cables directly to speaker binding posts using only their prepared, bare wire ends. Upon request, we will add pure copper spade lugs for $5 extra per termination or banana plugs for $7.50 each.
Or are you looking for the speaker-wire dollar menu for your JBLs?
