I am trying to put a '66 Fender Twin back together after building a new baffle board (with thanks to Arjay for the guidance!!) and I forgot to pay attention to the wiring when I disassembled the speakers. Can anyone tell me if this configuration (silver to red; copper to black) is correct and I'm assuming would apply to both speakers in the chain configuration?
thanks!

Red implies "+" and black "-". "+" goes to the phone tip, "-" goes to the phone sleeve. The speakers are connected in parallel.

Correct.

Think of the copper-colored wire as "red". The stripped-and-tinned end should connect to the red speaker terminal while the other end is soldered to the "tip" portion of the phone plug.
