GG, could you just post the make + model of your cab before I try a reply? I don't want to make a complete arse of myself - so far, I'm keeping my arse-precentage just under 50 :wink:

you want to run 1 cabinet stereo and 1 cabinet mono, therefore you effectively have 3 cabinets requiring 3 cables, ie:

mono = 1 x 16ohm
stereo = 2 x 16ohm in parallel = 2 x 8ohm

it won't hurt the amp if you run 2x8ohm and 1x16ohm outputs

or just run two mono cabinets
