Can this Y-Cable be used to split a speaker load? For example, 8 ohm out on amp into 2 -16 ohm cabs. Thanks

No. While the connectors might do what you want in theory, the cable is not speaker cable. You want something specifically designed to work with amplifiers and speakers.

This should work; Basically just wiring two speakers in parallel, such that the resistance from the amp's viewpoint is halved. Each speaker will receive half the wattage.

This isn't an easy question to answer without the specifics of what you're trying to hook up. This is a guitar cable. It is mono and will work well in transferring a low power signal to an amp, etc. If you're trying to hook up an amp to a speaker for example, this is not what you want. For an already amplified signal you'll need a 1/4" speaker cable. There is a huge difference. One is shielded and meant to carry a high impedance signal to an amplification source, the other is not shielded and meant to carry a much stronger power signal with low impedance. You should Google the specifics of your gear because using this cable for instance to run from an amp head to a speaker could possibly cause major damage. I hope this helps!

You talkin bout L and R channel in a single output the answer is noActually for a single channel you can split it up plus it's great to split up ur subs output, microphones etc .. I use it to split my subs

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.

Yes, but only for a 1/8" mini plug, like headphones would use. So you would likely need a 1/8" to RCA splitter to run to most stereos/receivers, such as this: Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug, 2-RCA Plugs (6 feet)

This amp will be perfect for that, you will want to put two speakers in parallel on each channel, giving you a 2 ohm load on each. Like this http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/FAQ/Wiring/parallel.gif on each channel.

Yes. I am running two amps in my system. you must split the RCA outputs with a Y (splitter) to get seperate channels for the amps. Works fine.

Yes, if you split your guitar signal with a Y connector. Both channels are always on and can be controlled individually.

Yes you can, but why go thru that trouble. Get this item, and you'll have more control over your amp/speakers. Behringer MX882 8-Channel Splitter/Mixer

No, these amplifiers only have four push type connectors for a single set of load speakers. My speaker cables are quite fat, so I had to remove half of the conductors before they fit.

Yes. You could do it with a converter to get you from AUX to the 1/4" or XLR on the back. If you have two speakers a small aux to Red and White component adaptor will let you split them left and right. Then use your other cables to reach the speakers from the signal splitter. I've done it before and know it works.

Yes, if you know what you are doing. You should not use this speaker, though. This is a level of hardware that requires quite a bit of tuning, and can't be used as a simple replacement. You will need a crossover, and a good high power tweeter to pair this speaker with. This speaker (it's one speaker, not a pair) should only get a 80Hz to 5Khz signal with a 12 dB / octave slope on the high end, and the steepest drop off you can manage on the low end. It's difficult to find tweeters that can handle the same wattage as these. I like to use series wired pairs of infinity 2 ohm tweeters amplified separately (4 ohm load per channel).

I haven't had the situation myself but, I would say yes because subwoofers have their own amplifiers, so you may be able to split the signal without any problem.

I don't think so. The tweeters are for amplified systems and it doesn't work with amps

I use a y-cord and that works fine. However, you likely will not be able to tell a difference. Best answer: try each way and see which you like better or if you can even tell. I don't see how a y-cord will harm the amp as suggested below - have used it for years. Don't play it too loud. John O.

buy a y splitter from radioshack, male plug end and two female sockets, good to go.

Yes that would work just fine. If you have two speakers you can also run them in parallel safely. (Which drops the load to 4ohms)
