Y speaker cab cable

can anyone recommend a male to 2 female connection speaker cable

i have an amp with one 8ohm outlet and want to run two 1x12 16 ohm cabs into it

I’m sure designacable can rustle something up?

"Line" female jacks are notoriously  unreliable. The odd click or signal loss in an input is a bother, in a valve OP stage it can be disastrous.

The ONLY free socket I would use would be the Nuky locking jobby. Not cheap but then neither are OPTraffs!

Personally, as a get out, I would just use chassis jacks and gaffer.

For this application surely you want a single male to double male Y-cable?

Haych

Personally I would daisy chain the cabs and if the cabs don't have the required sockets to allow this I'd modify one so that it does.

That's just my preference though.

I agree with rico and Haych.

Try to avoid anything that has additional plug and socket connections between the amp and at least one of the cabs - you don't want to leave the amp with no load if something breaks or a plug gets pulled out.

If you must use a line socket, as ecc83 says *only* the Neutrik locking one is suitable, both because it has a much higher current capability and because you can't pull the plug out accidentally.

All good advice guys..thank you

so I’m thinking either mod my cabs which don’t  have this ability (Bogner cubes), or see if someone can make Y speaker lead with one end male and then through to 2 male connections
