Long time lerker, first time poster. I'm planning on building a JTM45 combo, so I'm sure i will be seeking all your knowledge a lot more. I hope to learn a lot and eventually be able to offer my own advice and add to this amazing forum.

Let's start off easy.

What is the black and red wire that I see in Marshall combos/cabinets to connect the speakers? Anything special about it? Is it recommended or is there something better? Where can I purchase this fine looking wire?

Thanks!
