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

    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)
