Speaker connections

[Bass Fumbler]

This is probably a stupid question but here goes. 
On my Ashdown RM500 amp, does it matter which Speakon socket I use?

I always use the top one but I find that when I am disconnecting the speaker, the back of the amp casing is a bit tight. 
The lower one would be easier but I don’t want to cause a problem. 
The speaker is a Barefaced 210 retro if that makes a difference.

Won’t be a problem whichever you use.

No, it doesn't. They are connected internally, and are there simply to allow two 8 Ohm cabs to be connected at the same time (so tha amp 'sees' 4 Ohm...). For only one cab, either socket is fine.
