Hi all, got some noob questions on running 2 heads. I got a Univalve running into a 2x12 8ohm cab. The 2x12 cab has 2 input jacks, and is labelled "parallel", which seems to imply 2x16ohm speakers wired in parallel to give 8ohms (why 2 input jacks?).
Am thinking of swapping my other combo amp into the head version, to use with this same cab (2 inputs). I know some basics, like amps need to be operated with a load, or damage results.
1. Can I plug the outputs of both heads into the 2 input jacks of that cab?
2. With 1. above, can I play both heads simultaneously, like if a friend or teacher comes by? (Internet literature seems to imply this is a huge no)
3. With 1. above, will there be issues if I plug both, but play only 1 head at a time?
4. As with 3., any issues if I play 1 head, but turn the other on (but not play it, like using an A/B/Y box)?
Where I'm coming from, I'm trying to preserve space by converting a combo into a head, and using an existing cab to run 2 heads. I've read about the Tonebone and similar options, but am trying to avoid spending more cash if I can do the same just by being careful (keeping one head off while the other is on).
