Re: SPEAKER WIRING

Then it's simple...connect the cabs to the speaker jacks labelled something like "4 or 8 ohms only", and make sure the switch is set for 4 ohms.

Since you are connecting 2 cabs, 8 ohms each, and the speaker jacks on the back of the amp are wired in parallel, the resultant impedance will be 1/2 the impedance of just one cab alone. That's why 2 cabs, at 8 ohms each will be the same as 1 cab at 4 ohms.
