JUST PURCHASED SECOND MAPEG PORTAFLEX 2 X10 CAB

Hi all, back to inexperienced questions. After reading the manual on the Ampeg Portaflex 500 Watt Head and watching a you tiube video by Johnny Cox titled
Matching Bass Amp Heads & Cabinets: A Bass Players Guide - Bass Practice Diary - 25th August 2020 I discovered that I might have been connecting my one 2 x 10 cabinet incorrectly to the head. In the back of the head are two OutPuts one says 300 watts at 8 Ohms and a second Neutrik output says 500 Watts at 4 Ohms. I have been connecting the one cabinet to my head to the Output that states 500 Watts. Do I need to connect to the Output that says 300 Watts instead. Next question is even thought there are two separate Outputs (300 & 500 watts) they are actually considered just one Output Right?? I ask because when I receive my second cabinet I want to ensure that I am connecting my two cabs correctly. In his video at the 7: 20 minute mark he explains the connections on the back of his amp and talks about a head with two outputs. So what Im really asking is how to connect the two 2 x 10 cabinets to the 500 Watt Head. I'm guessing I should connect the Nuetrik cable to the headOutput that says 500 Watts to the first Cab then just run a 1/4 inch speaker cable to the second Cab. Thsank you for any advise that can be provided. I tried to explain as clearly as I could.

 

Jaco I see what your saying, but if thats the case why have to separate outputs on the amp? Like Spock would say "Highly Illogical" lol. Thanks

 

Oh I see! two cabs with only one input. I didnt think of that. Thank you.

 

Also stacking the two 2 x10 cabs sould not an issue I hope as far as stabilty.

 

From what i read in the manual and on several You Tube Videos the Head is 4 Ohms the Cabs are 8 ohms so that equal 4 ohms. I should be ok as far as I know.

 

Sorry! When I copied the You Tube link the fonts all turned large and bold. I was to lazy to go back and change it, but i thank everyone for their advise and help.
