I usually don't shop for wires, so this is a new thing to me. Should I look for a wire that specifically says "remote wire"? Or it can be any wire, even a speaker wire?

any wire, yes you can even take speaker wire and peel off the one side ( or not ).... most install shops have "remote" wire in bulk for 5 to 10 cents a foot....
