no.
here's how to do it if you don't have a multimeter and you don't want to do math
put cab face down with the speakers laying flat.
TAKE PICTURES OF THE INSIDE. MAKE A DOODLE OF HOW IT IS WIRED. PARTICULARLY NOTE OF THE PLUS AND MINUS SIGNS!
Take one speaker out. Get your new speaker and position it in place. Hook it back exactly like the one you took out. TAKE NOTICE OF THE PLUS AND MINUS SINUS ON THE SPEAKER!.
Tighten the screws in pairs. Do one, then the one straight above it and so on. Do this by hand so you won't strip the T nut out.
Wash and repeat. Be careful to not slip and ram your screw driver through the cone.
NOW, when you have hall the speakers connected, short a 9 volt battery across the input of the speakers. Watch the cones go in and out. They all need to go in and out at the same time. (NOTE: when I say speakers, I mean the input of the cab. Its not going to help you to test each speaker with a battery)
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. YOU CAN KILL SOME SPEAKERS/AMPS BY RUNNING SPEAKERS OUT OF PHASE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!! DEATH DEATH DEATH of speakers sad arjue!

Correct. It's a totally cake job.
This is the most important thing to watch out for. For the sake of not puncturing the cone or surround, the best thing to do is to NOT use power tools when getting the screws set in. Do it by hand for the first several turns and then rock the power tools to finish it off.

Thanks for the info, but i'm actually bidding on an empty cab, and would need to do the wiring myself.

To clarify, I'm looking at getting myself a nice guitar rig. On ebay, there's a really nice 2x12 cabinet where all the funds go to the Red Cross. I can pay the builder to put in some speakers but it'd be significantly cheaper to do it myself, plus it'd be nice to learn how.
I'm looking at 2 amps at the moment, an early 70's V4, and this oddity:
If i don't win the cabinet I might just bid on a mesa boogie 4x12 instead lol.
here are some wiring pics

I can't get behind this Tim.
If you manage to pop that T nut out you're going to be very unhappy when it spins through the grill cloth.
Power tools are for putting up drywall imo.

I'm good enough with tools that I'm certainly not going to poke the cone, dustcap or surround but I'd hate to rely on the drill's clutchy thing or the t-nut to stop the screw spinning in time so I give the last two or three turns by hand. It gives me peace of mind. That's how I was shown when I worked at car stereo shops in high school. <Wiring is pie easy. If you know plus from minus you win, don't let any tales of potential gloom and doom strike fear. Fuck, I ]spilled a pint of water in my keyboard and now it']s bu]sted... fuck enter and backs]pace are both outta comish
It'll probably work when its dry. Unless you're gay.
