Default Garden Speakers

Looking to get some speakers for the decking, so we can have a little music
outside.

I've seen wireless ones which transmit from the hi-fi, but they need
plugging in to the mains, which rather defeats the object - no power on the
deck.

They don't have to look like rocks or anything.

SWMBO has some wireless headphone which plug into the 'phones' socket on the
hi-fi (Sony).

So, question is; Can I just use a speaker extension lead of say 10 metres
which will plug into the 'phones' socket and connect the other end to some
outdoor speakers? Like these?
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=221776 I could build a box for
them out of deck boards

Would I lose anything over the cable length, what ohms do I need & how would
I connect the cable to the speakers - bearing in mind I am to electronics
what Colonel Custer is to Indian fighting.
