Step by step to check resistance of speaker cab.

Plug in your speaker cable into the cabinet, (I am assuming it is a 1/4" cable), and put one of the probes of the meter on the tip, and one on the sleeve of the connector at the amp end of the cable,(unplugged from the amp of course.) The normal DC ohm-meter will give you an approximate measurement of the speaker impedance, and will usually read slightly lower than the impedance of the speaker.

The big question I have is; how did you go about "rewiring" your speaker cabinet?
