Re: 2 heads, one cab
You’d be trying to force speaker level back through the other amp’s output transformer. If you didn’t damage anything you’d at least have a really odd load on the active amp (which could then damage something)
As stated above, the second jack can be used either for a choice of nuitrik or standard jack or to add an additional cab in parallel if your amp has only one output. (If you’ve got one 4 ohm, one 8 ohm and one 16 ohm output, you can go from the 8 ohm output to the 16 ohm cab jack, from the second cab jack to the next 16 ohm cab)
By the way if I’m using multiple heads on one cab, I only run one IEC cable to that area. That way I have to swap both power and speaker cables when I switch heads. There’s no risk of powering up the disconnected head without a load.

Yes, it can be rewired to stereo, allowing two heads to be used. As is it’s a parallel pass through for additional cabs.

Re: 2 heads, one cab
should be one jack in
the other jack is thru to the next cab
you can rewire

Re: 2 heads, one cab
If it's a stereo 4x12 you can run it with 2 amps driving 2x12's each. Just make sure the selector switch is set correctly. A 16ohm cab would indicate that it's 4 16 ohm speakers wired series/parallel. So for stereo operation you'd want the amps set to 8 ohms. Yes you can run two amps at the same time...the stereo cab is effectively two 2x12's in one box. But NEVER and run two amps into the same set of speakers...that would be bad.

2 heads, one cab
Question. IÂ’ve never done this before, so wanna make sure IÂ’m ok..
I brought my PV ultra plus Home. Normally I use my Carvin 4x12 for that head. No room for the cab so making due. Ok, my spawn 4x12 has 2 inputs ( I think all my cabs do) one of them on the splawn has the Neutric locking jack, the other does not. I left my spawn head plugged into that jack and plugged my PV head into the other jack. Is it ok to plug 2 heads into one cab? Assume so as they put two jacks on it. Next, the cab is rated 16 ohms.. set both heads at 16 ohms?? Lastly, can one actually PLAY both heads thru same amp at same time??Tags: None
