Handy, although it might be cleverer if it had speakons like a lot of bass amps these days...

I'm sure OBBM could knock you up something similar... I know he's done similar -

A box just for putting them in serial like the OBBM one above makes more sense - to hook them up in parallel just use the built in thru-jacks on the cab, or multiple outputs on the amp. Unless of course neither your amp nor cab have these!

I would imagine that Palmer box uses auxiliary contacts on the jacks sockets to provide some switching. It's probably OK for a low wattage guitar amp but I'm not sure I'd want to put 500-watts of bass through those contacts. Also you couldn't do the same with Speakons as they have no extra switching contacts. You'd need a heavy duty switch..

They do make Speakons with switch contacts. They're not airtight though, which would be a pain on a cab back-plate but fine in an external box.

Agreed but they are PCB mount which would mean a special PCB.
