Hi, im looking to remove the speakers from a 1978 marshall 2x10 combo. Plan is to place the speakers in the next room so i can mic it up and tweak it through my monitors. Im in the wiring stage atm and looking to make a wall box with some connections, and adding some jack inputs to either side of the wall, the socket cable distance will probably be not much more than 1 meter....and the speaker cable from the socket in the control room to the amp abouy a meter...and from the sockets in the amp room to the spekers maybe 2 or 3 meters max. Can anybody see any issues doing any of this? Thanks..

I'm a little confused on exactly how you plan on separating the amp and speakers in your combo. You were not really very clear on how you were planing to separate the amp and speakers. Are you removing the amp from the cab and keeping the speakers in the cab and moving that into the the other room? If so, I think it's a good idea to slap together a little enclosure for the amp section for easy handling. Re-installing the speakers in another cab sounds to me like a bigger project. One way or another, of course either can be done.
Moving the speakers to another room sounds like a good idea and should work fine. It's a fairly short run but I'd use 14 or 12Ga. cable. The main reason I suggest heavier gauge is because of improved speaker damping rather than power handling. Regular lamp zip cord will work fine but for the heavier gauge, you might find that in outdoor low voltage cable. I don't think you need to buy fancy overpriced speaker cable. (But IMHO there's nothing wrong with it except it's too expensive, so use it if you have a length lying around:)

Thats great rock thankyou....yeah the plan is to replicate the cab relocate the speakers in it and keep the amp in the original housing in the control room. Thanks for the recomendations also...i have some twin 4mm elecrical cable, how would that suit for speaker cable do you think?

Cool, sounds like a plan! I looked up that 4mm is equivalent to 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge... we've got different numbers for just about everything over here:)
Depending on the connectors you have, your 4mm/12Ga wire might be a little tricky to work with but nobody can say your wire is too small!
Cheers!
