I want to build my own guitar amp, but I don’t know how to, also i would like for it to be compatible with a guitar amp head. If you know anything please help, or post a link that explains how to build it, Thanks-Aaron

What you’re really asking is how to build a speaker cabinet and not an amplifier. You already have the amplifier, that’s the "head".

A cabinet is basically an input jack, soldered into a circuit board.
That circuit board has 4 speaker wires going from it.
Each speaker wire goes into it’s own speaker.

(Cabs typically have 4 separate identical speakers, usually 25 or 75 watts.)

Then pack all that up into a large wooden box, with a cloth screen in the front to protect the speakers, and voila! You have a cabinet!

This requires woodworking knowledge, electrical knowledge, and you have to make sure the Ohm setting matches your head, my advice would be to copy a popular model for reference, such as the Marshall 1960 (model not year) cabinets with 75watt speakers, the most popular cabinets being used (although not the best by far)

    You put this in car audio. You might want to move it.
