I'm assuming to inject power into pixels it's as simple as splicing speaker wire into the wire between pixels? Or do I need heavier wire?

Depending on the gauge of the wire and the length of the wire that should work.
Also is it stranded or solid wire? Stranded is more flexible without breaking but solid can hold a bend if desired.
Page 43-46? of the 101 manual will answer the voltage drop issue in wire length.
