Fitting speaker to old Cab - wire colours

[Donnyboy]

For my next trick - I thought this should be straightforward - ah well...

I'm wanting to stick an old McKenzie speaker into an old Peavey Black Widow cab.

The speaker has a black & a red connecting thingy , but the cab ( which says it was made in the USA) has a blue and a yellow wire. Which wire should go in which connector?
I've done a search but couldn't find anything.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Other than the phase of the cone, it wouldn't make any difference unless being used with other drivers.
Trace the positive wire & connect to the red & that should be ok.

Or you could do Red to Blue & Blue to bits!

Peavey always use yellow and blue wires for their speaker connections.

The yellow wire is + and should be connected to the red terminal of the McKenzie.
