svt3 pro and cabinet wiring question

So I bought this older svt 3 pro head and a 4-10 svt pro cab.
This cab is rated at 600 watts.

I have a 2-10 cab that I want to use to getto a 4 ohm load.

The head has one banana plug and 2 1/4 outs.

The cabs both say the inputs are fullrange inputs.

A; Question should I use 2 banana plugs and piggyback them into one another?

B: Use 1 banana and 1 1/4 inch cable?

C: Use 2 1/4 inch cables/

D: OR, use 1 banana plug and run the 4-10 into the 2-10 cab.

E: any of the above, it dont matter

first gig with this baby tonight and I want to run it right.

Right now I am using 1 banana and 1 1/4 inch and it sounds freakin great. Way better that my B2R into 1-15 and the 2-10 cab did.

thanks all, lowfreq
 
I assume you mean 2- 1/4 inch cables out of the head then, not one out of the head then out of one cab into the other?

Any other thoughts?

I feel kind of silly and anal asking this stuff with 35 years experience but I dont want to do something wrong and not get the best out of the amp or overheat it, like that.
 
Nobody uses banana plugs anymore unless they have an amp from the 90's or 80's. I think banana plugs are a PITA. I'd just use the 1/4" jacks, one to each. Daisy chaining them into one input works, too, but using both jacks helps you keep the amp's chakras aligned, allowing greater feng shui, which in turn keeps the speakers' yin balanced with the yang (translation: it makes no difference but I like it better).
