You set your amp Ohm selector to match the speaker cab. There should be some label by the jack on back of your cab. If its a Randall MTS cab you have 3 options, 2 with switch set to Mono and one with switch on Stereo: Stereo - plug into either jack and set head to 8Ohms. This operates cab on two speakers only (left or right hand side) Mono 4 Ohms - plug into jack on left hand side (looking from rear) this drives all 4 speakers Mono 16 Ohms - plug into jack on right hand side (looking from rear) this drives all 4 speakers
