If you could specify which connectors need to go where ie. A1, B2 etc that would be awesome

Thanks again for you help

Bigger connection picture to follow
In order to have it wired for 16 ohms stereo, you would have to wire each half of the cab in series. As I said before, the switch on the jackplate when in mono connects both sides in series, so then you would have 32 ohms mono, with all 4 speakers wired in series.

The whole problem with all this is that you have 8 ohm speakers, not 16's. It'll work, but it's unusual, so the markings on the jackplate will be wrong, and you won't be able to use the cab in mono by itself.
