steve-soar Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 What preamp will you be using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 looks like it would be easiest to run both cabs together, with the amp bridged. in order to do this you'll need a four way speakon connector, connect the positive to +1 and the negative to +2, i think. -1 and -2 unconnected, and plug the speakon into channel one's output.
