Hook Up This Cabinet Correctly:

That cab should be loaded with 4 4Ohm speakers …… If one was to ‘Dig In’ …… It could be Hot Wired to 16ohm Mono ( all 4 speakers in series )……A bit of constructive wiring with some more switching jacks could yield the 8ohm split pair option still……
 
Yes, you are looking at this correctly. In the "normal" switch position you have ;(SW4A) 470pf treble (& upper mid) cap, (SW4B) 33k "slope" resistance
(SW4C) 0.022uf mid cap
In the "mid scooped" switch position you have;
(SW4A) 235pf treble cap (let's less upper mids through).
(SW4B) 99k slope resistance (greater seperation of the treble frequencies & mid/bass frequencies.
(SW4C) 0.011uf mid cap (let's less lower mids through).

It's a pity the Jackson cab only offers
Stereo, 2 X 8 ohms, &
Mono, 1 X 4 ohms
& doesn't have the mono 1 X 16 ohm option like the Marshall cabs do, as you can only use two speakers at 8 ohms leaving two speakers unused.
I would check the impedance of the speakers used in the cab. If it is fitted with 16 ohm speakers it would be possible to fit the Marshall Stereo/Mono Jack Plate that Chilli showed earlier, thus allowing the Mono 16 ohm option (all 4 speakers used). The genuine Marshall part No. for this Jack Plate Stereo/Mono Switch is
M-196X-50-01.
It is available from amprepairparts.com,
Part #JP-800.
Hope this helps. Cheers

I need to find a Jackson schematic too...
