Connecting Your Amplifier to
Two Cabinets in Parallel
(if speaker cabinet has parallel extension output)
IMPORTANT : always match the impedance of your amplifier with the
impedance of the speaker cabinet(s).
• Both connections are made with a 1/4” unshielded speaker cable
• Connect one of the amplifier outputs (back of amp) to the correct
input on the speaker cabinet (rear terminal plate)
• Many speaker cabinets come with a convenient parallel extension
output for connecting additional cabinets in parallel. The second
cabinet is connected by running an additional speaker cable from
the parallel output of the first cabinet to the input of the second
cabinet.

Connecting Your Amplifier to a Single Cabinet
IMPORTANT : always match the impedance of your amplifier with the

• The connections are made with a 1/4” unshielded speaker cable
• Connect one of the amplifier outputs (back of amp) to the correct
input on the speaker cabinet (rear terminal plate)
