I've seen the question many time on how to connect multiple cabs to a one speaker jack amp.
I wanted to use 2 cabs for my Class 5 head and the amp only has one 8 ohm, and one 16 ohm speaker jack.
The usual recommendation is a Palmer Cab Merger.
These things are now $56 on Ambazon, so time for a DIY.
Got these parts instead for about half the cost.
Using this simple wiring diagram, I made the box with 6 jacks and separate parallel and serial connections.
It's a tight fit in the mini pedal case, so you may want to get a larger box.
Note: the the serial side needs isolation washers on the speaker jacks or the tip to sleeve connection shorts out on the metal box.
A plastic box or plastic sleeve jacks would also work.
Some peel & stick labels and good to go.
