Adding a speaker out to a 1x10 cab

[lemmywinks]

I'd like to add a speaker out to my EA CXL110 cab, it's had the original driver and crossover removed and now just has s simple backplate with a Speakon wired directly to a Basslite. In order to wire up an additional Speakon I take it I'd just connect it to the existing one minus to minus, plus to plus or is there more to it?


I'm a bit thick when it comes to things like this so always check here first!

First thought is It would depend on the ohms you require to how you would wire it. 

If your cab is 8 ohm that's easier.

If your current cab is 4 ohms then wiring in parallel will make it 2 ohms when connecting another 4ohm cab, which likely you may not want! Or 6 ohm if you connect up a 8 ohm cab to your 4ohm. 

So you might want to wire a 4ohm cab out in series instead.

It's an 8ohm driver wired straight to a speakon at the moment, would just like the option of adding another cab at some point. Impedance isn't an issue, just wanted to know if my idea of how to wire it is correct!

Then yeah wire it as you said.
