I have a custom built full sized KI2 cab that I just finished building. I have 2 50W max output 8ohm speakers that I want to use. Can anyone provide wiring instructions on wiring these speakers for optimal sound? Also, is there a way to add a sub woofer with these? Thanks!

Not sure what the amp impedance is but that is important. Here is something that can explain better than I.

The speakers in a KI2 are 8 ohm and are wired in parallel fashion so that is a load of 4 ohms. Your 50W speakers are fine, originals are 25W. A sub-woofer would probably be overkill and need to be externally driven.

Do you intend to put any stereo boards in that cabinet or just KI2?

hmmmm...very interesting question. now you got me thinking! maybe i will look into one of those multi game pcbs as well!
 
Can you give me a little help in wiring 2 speakers in parallel? I get the basic idea but I can't quite picture it in my head to do it. Also, my jamma harness only has 2 speaker output wires (L & 10), how would I run the wires to those 2 wires? I read another post that I can use pins M & 11 but the reference sheet that came with my jamma harness indicates those 2 pins are for P1 & P2 fire button 6. Very confusing!

I drew up a quick diagram on Series vs Parallel speaker wiring:
