Connecting cabs?

Ah so I can't use the line out connection as in stereo? Left and Right? That's what somebody told me at PMT! I'm well aware the usual speaker out in mono is the one with the red nut.

 

So I guess there is no way I can use the two cabs together then?

 

In short: No, no and no.

 

Line outs will not drive a cab.  They lied or know sweet FA.  Outputs are mono and are rarely in red.  

 

Finally, without wanting to cloud the issue further and based on comms so far, no you can't connect the 2 cabs to your amp.

They are both 8 ohm cabs.

 

Thanks @jrixn1, that should do the trick. Nice cheap solution. Life saver.

Or get a "Y/Splitter" cable likey so. Plenty around if you Google

Be sure that whatever cable you buy, it uses genuine Neutrik SpeakOn plugs. The cheap Chinese knock-off plugs are notoriously problematic, and the source of many frustrating problems out in the field.

How about one of these: https://www.pulse-audio.co.uk/product/nl4-split/  or similar.

 

Sorry guys, but I'm new to using two cabs, I had planned to connect cab to cab, which I can't do. With the NL4 splitter. Is it splitting the signal and because of the split it still registers as 8 Ohm load? Or is it like connecting two cabs together and turns into an 4 Ohm load?

Either solution, the splitter cable or the splitter box, give the same solution.

It connects both cabs in parallel, so a 4 ohm load presented to the amp. Exactly like going amp-cab-cab.

Only difference is you need three cables with the box solution.

The splitter cable does it all with 1 cable.
