Empty Marshall 1960TV needs wiring: first as 2x12, later on

Merry X-Mas!

Lately I bought an empty Marshall 1960 TV cab and now I got 2 Celestion G12-35XC 16 Ohm speakers from my wife for X-Mas.

Before I'll get a second set of (probably different) speakers (e.g. G12H-75 15 Ohm), I wanna wire it as 2x12" cab, so that I can start using it.

Later on I will wire it as 4x12" cab, then with an X setting of the speakers.
Mono, just as simple and effective as possible.
I'm a complete newbee when it comes to wiring cabinets. So I'd appreciate to get recommendations!
I even need to get me the wire first, the cab was empty, apart from 2 input acks... I will only use one.
I hope that you can lead me to the right direction.

Greetings to all of you from Hamburg, Germany.

Take a look at the wiring diagrams on the scumback speakers website.

Cool, many thanks!
What kind of wiring would you recommend, if I'll go for 2 different pair of speakers?
And... how many meters will I need per color? :what:
