So... Just got myself a 60 watt (at min and 120 at max) speaker and it's at 8 ohms...
i always wanted to build an amp... but i couldnt afford the parts... but now i have the speaker so i can start of slowly...

is there any info out there that can help me make it into a cab?

or do i just put the + of the speaker to the lug of a mono or stereo 1/4? and put the minus to ground?

i am new at this
please forgive me of lack of knowing

speaker polarity matters only once more than one speakers used, but its good practice to do it: tip=hot anyway.

theres a fair bit of cab construction info around, try 18watt.com or just find a cab you like the sound of and copy it.
