I said that it's a good idea to experiment with speakers, but forgot to mention the importance of using speaker cable, not shielded mic (or guitar) cable. If you have a cord that you aren't sure of, you may need to unscrew the plug's cover to see what you have. If you are doing your own speaker wiring on a combo amp, don't bother with the super high-fidelity wire like Monster Cable. It's hard to solder and has no advantage over standard 14 gauge wire.
