I Have a Question on a 4x12 Cab

Your jack is more clear, but I assume you only get 8 ohms from the left jack when there is something plugged in the right jack?

Mine is like this:
If you want a single 8Ohm load-insert cable in top right jack.
If you want two separate 8Ohm loads(like for a stereo rig)-insert one cable in upper right jack, AND one cable in upper left jack.
If you’re looking for a single 4ohm load-plug a cable in to the upper left jack.
If you’re looking for a single 16Ohm load-plug a cable in to the lower left jack.

Makes much more sense....

Yep.
And when the switch on a plate like yours, or my Marshall(the original plate and switch), fails...one would do well to pay attention, and whip out the meter.
The readings I got, set to a 16Ohm load, ranged from jumping around 0 to 2Ohms, to 42+/-Ohms.
I heard it acting up at a rehearsal, and swapped the cab out immediately. I’m glad I wasn’t playing out at a gig.

When I was young and in my prime I packed around 3 full 100 watt Marshall stacks all the time. Then I got older and had more sense and used a stereo switch at 8 ohms two 35 watt heads and one cabinet. Now I'm even older and use 20 pound amps.

I'm 52 and playing through two full stacks...LOL Crazy Gringos
 
Funny from 24 12" speaker's to 2 12" speakers Sometimes 1 12" and 4 10" total. Were booked solid for the rest of this year. Robert as far as headroom in a car I need 41.5" a Mustang has 37.6"
If I recall My Aston Martin DB11 has 42" head room and my Van has 41.5" and my head touches the headliner. When my new girl friend wanted a Mustang GT in Lighting Blue with cloth seats
I found one she just had a full service on it the dealership said it was a custom order that color was discontinued in 2018 and it has the series 2 package with a 10 speed auto that was the first
2019 all series 2 have 6 speed manuals not this one she loves it calls it Cream Puff. My sister in law has a yellow Mustang GT not sure what year calls it Lemon Drop

I can sit in my 2006 GT and place my fist on top my head and not touch the headliner...but I adjust the seat as low as it will go...


I love the color... :-)

What's the power handling situation? If you run two parallel cables to stereo does that mean you still have the total of 240W, 120W per side? Or have you halved the power handling? Also if there are two, doesn't that halve the load on the amp, so that you have to switch it to 4 ohms when you have parallel jacks going into a stereo cab?
