For cable, either some bog standard speaker cable or some mains will do fine. I bought a reel of Pro Power stuff from CPC a few years back - it's more flexible than most mains, but electrically either will do the job.

There's nothing better for guitar amp to speaker no matter how much you spend, and you can easily spend a lot more for something inferior.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

most jacks have that horrible thin little bit in the middle with a hole drilled through (to solder to) for the tip
the Neutriks are so much better. My soldering skills are weak, but even I can solder well into the lovely bucket in the middle of the Neutriks. Well worth the money.
I have made quite a few using these - also the socket version to make a cable for when you want to use a cab's driver with a different head

Its orange for easy visual recognition for numpty roadies, but thats not a problem these days.
I now use a speakon connector on the cab end coz i had a problem with the plastic socket making an intermittant connection with the heavier neutrik jack.
Its over kill for a 60 watt amp but at least it doesnt play up anymore.

Hi,
Bumping up this ancient thread as I have just had a speaker cable made for an extension cab to be used with my Princeton combo.
It was custom made by designacable.com (really good service by the way) as surprisingly no one else seems to sell them.
Is this safe to use with the multi strand HiFi cable?
+1 for the solid shafted Nukies in fact best for any "gigging/portable" cable*. Good point also about making sure they cannot go open circuit but do also put a bit of silicone sleeving down the hot pin, especially if a transistor amp is a possibility. A shorting 'whisker' will not bother a valve OP stage but could quickly wreck a transistor jobbie.
*For 'fixed site' semi-static use, home recording, patch bays e.g. cheaper plugs and foil screened signal cables are fine.
Dave.
