bananna and speakon

two of my T-48's have yet to be converted to speakon. Is it possible to use the bananna and speakon jacks together on the back of the amp. For instance, could i piggy back two subs on the bananna and connect the third sub to the speakon ?

As long as all the jacks are wired in parallel and correctly, there is no reason to not do it that way. Until you upgrade to all speakons, that is! :loler: :broke:

This is the way I used to run the speakers off one amp. But now I just built a speakon splitter. What I really liked about banana was that you could parallel all of them on top of each other.

Thanks guy's. Seistres, are you the one that built a splitter with sprinkler fittings?

:(


Although I have seen the thread you're referring to, no, that was not me. I was the one that posted that I built them out of the bare jacks soldered to the wires and then the whole thing wrapped in green electrical tape :oops:
