Speaker cable is not instrument cable
Speaker leads and guitar leads can both have a 1/4in jack at each end, but they do different jobs. An instrument cable is shielded and built for a small signal from a guitar or pedal. A speaker cable carries the amplifier's output, so it uses heavier, unshielded conductors; the Ernie Ball P06071, for example, is 16 AWG. Never run an amp head into a cab with an instrument cable: it can overheat and starve the speaker of power.
Tips
- Keep the run short. Head-on-cab setups rarely need more than 1m.
- Label speaker leads with gaffer tape so they can't be mixed up with instrument leads in the backline trunk.
- Check the amp's minimum load before connecting more than one cabinet.
