How do I plug my guitar amp into the speaker cab?

Question

I just recieved a guitar amplifier and a matching speaker cabinet and I sort of know what to do but just want to be sure...

the amp has 3 outputs on it. the first two are 'parallel speaker out' and then there is a '0dB line out' and then there is only one input into the cab. am I right in plugging the '0dB line out' into the cabinet?

thanks if you can help, I am only a new player so please don't flame me :-p

Answer 1

If the speaker cabinet is passive, i.e., gets its power from the amplifier, then you connect it to the "Parallel Speaker Out" - you can connect two such cabinets to the two outputs.  The 0dB line out is to connect the preamp section of the amplifier into a booster amplifier.  You won't get any sound out of your speaker if you plug it into this output.

Answer 2

try it, it won't break anything, but you're right.

Answer 3

it would be easier if you told me the model of the amp and cab
