Be careful about how you wire it up to get the correct impedance.
Most 810's use 32ohm speakers wired to make a 4ohm mono / 8ohm stereo cab.
The problem is, I can't think of any 32ohm guitar speakers and if you use 16ohm speakers
with the same wiring you'll have a 2ohm mono / 4ohm stereo cab.
Most guitar amps can't handle a 2ohm load so that could be a problem.

You could wire it up as two 410's with 16ohm speakers wired series/parrellel at 16oms each
and when connected in parallel have a cab with a impedance of 8ohms. :idk:

Yah, wire it up as two 4x10's in a criss crossed patter, cab one would be bottom left, second row right, third row left, top right and then you can use two amps in stereo in one cab. That would rule.

You can do series/parallel wiring, 16 ohm speakers in each chamber.
Chambers wired in parallel so you have an 8 ohm cab.
Or 8 ohm speakers for a 4 ohm cab

The past three comments are why I said no 8x10's... Seems too hard... I love a 4x10 Fender but a Fridge of $40 Jensens and wiring and Amp issues and all could be a lil daunting or am I a jerk???

Don't get the Jensens. Get these Kustom brand 10"s. seriously good, and they have a darker classic rock voicing. I am putting them in my practice amp. And they're cheap! (But will sell out eventually.)

I used to rock a '70's SVT 810 with guitar AND IT SOUNDED FUCKING INCREDIBLE.
If anything, it was a bit too dark sounding.
I like using a combination of 10's and 12's for guitar still, typically a 4x10/4x12 fullstack.
