Show us your amps

The series or parallel connection thing has been very confusing to me until well… Now. The reason why it’s so confusing is because so many sources online are confusing/just plain wrong. My manual for the pjb clearly states you can daisy chain the cabinets together IN PARALLEL giving you full power to the cabs. Yet a quick Google search states that daisy chaining gives you a serial connection which greatly robs you of power. So what gives? Well a few minutes ago I found this thread, which explains it:

TL/DR: it is very rare to find any cabs wired with a serial connector any more, they’re almost all parallel. So connect them however you want (after consulting your manual). Every time you add a cab you decrease the ohms. 1 8 ohm cab is 8 ohms. Add another and they are 4 ohms. Add another and you’re at 2.7 ohms, you can use an online ohms cabinet calculator. Most amps only safely go down to 4 ohms, a few do 2. Don’t start a fire onstage. I simply went output one to cab one, output two to cab two because pjb says it sounds a bit better but in the real world with 2 foot cables it probably doesn’t matter. BTW @DaveT here told me all the same things in a thread once.
