wiring in parallel - odd question

[electron transl]

i just got some red fangs for my ac30. they're 16 ohm and i'm going to wire them in parallel for a total of 8 ohms (and then knock down the selector on the back to 8 ohms).

my question is this: the speakers have these "L-shaped" terminals providing two places to connect positive and negative leads (2 positive , 2 negative per speaker). if i'm wiring in parallel, can i simply run the positive and negative lead from the amp to the corresponding terminal on the first speaker, THEN use that 2nd terminal on the first speaker to run my wire to the second speaker?

this is for an AC30CC2 and i'm trying to eliminate the soldering issue.

That is correct.

Actually (nothing personal Mike <G>), it might be different on the AC30 CC2. If I remember correctly the original speakers are wired individually from inside the chassis directly to each speaker. I think this has to do with how the extension speaker connection is handled by the amp when one is connected. The CC2 has a special little pc-board inside the chassis where the speakers are wired and the extension speaker jack is mounted and they switch the taps on the OT based on how many speaker cabs are connected.

I was looking at this on my CC2X to try and make the speaker connections simpler to ease chassis removal and tube swapping and ended up just putting spade connectors on the wires so I could easily unplug them from the speakers to pull the chassis.

Normally what you said Mike was perfectly correct, but I think the new Vox CC2 2x12 version is a special case.

Yes, the speaker wiring is correct for parallel operation. But make sure to try the wiring to the amp both ways to see if one way sounds better that the other. Many feel that a speaker moving forward on the initial string attack results in more acoustic presence than if the speakers move backwards first.
