Hey all, to make a long story short I've got 2 spare 15" speakers I've got kicking around so I'm going to be building 2 cabs. What I am wondering is how to wire 2 jacks on the back so I can daisy chain from one to the next. They are 2 8ohm speakers and I am looking to end up with a 4ohm load. I've done some searching and havn't found much. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You want them both to be in parallel. Just connect all the + to + and all the - to - and you'll get 4 Ohms nominal.
In parallel, in the first "main" cab wire a + from the input jack to the + of your speaker and to the + on the output jack, same for -, wire the input on the second cab the same as the input on the first cab (minus the wires for the output)
That should make them parallel
That should make them parallel
OP, just as a question, do you know how to design a cabinet that is suitable for your particular drivers? there's more to it than just building some sort of a box.
Good point there! I found the program winisd (by linearteam) very usefull, I used it to design a 2x10" cab, and it works great
I'm just building a couple tl606's, I've done my research and know that the cabinet needs to be designed for the speakers. On the hunt for some ev15l's. Thanks for looking out!
